Dashboards
Dashboards give you a Monday-style, at-a-glance picture of work across projects, boards, and the helpdesk. They are built from widgets and can be filtered and shared read-only.
Widgets
A dashboard is a canvas of widgets, each summarizing the underlying data:
| Widget | Shows |
|---|---|
| Number | A single key metric (e.g. open tickets, items due this week). |
| Bar / Line / Pie chart | Breakdowns and trends over time or by category. |
| Timeline | Scheduled items and milestones across a date range. |
| Workload | Team capacity and assignment balance. |
| Table | A filtered grid of items, tickets, or work orders. |
Aggregating across the organization
Unlike a single project view, dashboard widgets can aggregate across multiple projects and boards — and across the helpdesk — so leaders see the whole picture in one place. Combine ticket metrics and project progress on the same dashboard.
Widgets can be built over all four work types — tickets, work orders, project tasks, and action items — so a single dashboard can mix helpdesk, facilities, and project metrics.
What you can see
You only see widgets for the work types you have access to:
- A facilities-only user gets facility widgets, not ticket widgets; a helpdesk user without facilities access doesn't get work-order widgets.
- Facility widgets respect campus-group visibility — a Bronx user's work-order widget won't include New Rochelle.
- Action-item widgets are scoped to your own items.
- Admins see everything.
See Module-based access for how roles control this.
Filtering
Apply filters at the dashboard level (date range, team, project, priority, custom field values) to focus the entire board on a slice of work. Widgets respect the dashboard's filters, so you can reuse one layout for different contexts.
Sharing read-only
Dashboards can be shared read-only with stakeholders who need visibility but not edit access. This is ideal for executives, clients, or cross-functional partners.
Building a dashboard
- Create a new dashboard.
- Add widgets and point each at the projects, boards, or ticket queues it should summarize.
- Configure each widget's metric, grouping, and chart type.
- Set dashboard-level filters.
- Share read-only if others need to follow along.
Dashboards vs. reports
A dashboard is a visual canvas for monitoring. When you need an exact, exportable, or scheduled-by-email dataset instead — for example SLA compliance or cross-module workload figures — use Reports.
Tips
- Back widgets with saved filters for consistency across your dashboards.
- Mix helpdesk and work-management metrics to show the full operational picture.
- Keep an executive dashboard at the portfolio level for cross-project roll-ups — see Projects.
- For tabular, exportable, or scheduled output, pair dashboards with Reports.
