Configure Dashboard

 

Dashlets are added via Home > Dashboard > Configure Dashboard.

 

 
  1. To add a dashlet to your dashboard, simply click on the dashlet you would like to add.
    It will be automatically added to your dashboard in the top left hand corner.

  2. Dashlets can be placed as desired on your dashboard by dragging them into place
    (hold left-hand mouse button over the dashlet title bar and drag as desired).

 


 

 

You can add the same dashlet more than once.

This may be required if you want to track similar information but perhaps against different departments, project owners, etc...

 

These settings can be made when you edit dashlets.

 

You can have a maximum of nine dashlets on screen at one time per user.

Dashlets

The following dashlets are available for selection.

All dashlets that include timesheet, expense and purchase invoice data include data with approval status draft, submitted and approved.

 

Note: Rejected data is not included.

 

All dashlets utilise data polled on a nightly basis.

This means that in normal circumstances data entered on a morning will not be included in a dashlet until the following day.

 

If you urgently require up-to-date reporting, an administrator within your company can refresh the reporting data so that it includes all data entered at that time.

 

This is completed via Admin > Company Settings > Reporting.
