The sales dashboard provides you with a robust view of your most important sales metrics!
Filter your view: Top right corner adjust your filters by date range and user(s).
Most blocks will display data based on both filters except:
Current Deal Pipeline - will only change when filtering by user since this is a current snapshot
My Tasks - neither filter will change this. It's already being filtered by the logged in user and what's tasks are due now
Current Hot Prospects - will only change when filtering by user since this is a current snapshot
Recent Deals - will only change when filtering by user. It's displaying the most recently added deals so date range isn't needed
The dashboard filters are sticky and will not change until you choose to do so. Logging in and out or leaving the dashboard will not affect your selection.
If you are not using deals, the Deals View toggle will roll up the Current Deal Pipeline, Deal Won and Recent Deals blocks.
If you are an admin, you will be able to see all user's activities and data. If you are not an admin and your permissions have been restricted, you will only see your information on the dashboard.
The percentages found throughout the dashboard are showing an upward or downward trend for that statistic - when compared to previous time frames. Example: If I'm filtering for the last 30 days on the dashboard, the revenue percentage on the Deals Won block will compare the 30 days prior to the last 30 days and show me the percentage change and trend.
Below is an explanation of each block on the Sales Dashboard.
Current Deal Pipeline:
This block is a current snapshot of the deal pipeline by sales rep or all users. The numbers to the left of the graph are representative of the total number of deals and the total value of those deals in a general deal status of ‘prospect.’ The graph will show up to 7 deal stages at one time. To customize the deal stages you’d like to see in this graph, use the table/pencil icon in the upper right-hand corner of the block to select the 7 deal stages you’d like to see on the graph. For further insights, click on any deal stage, the total number, total deal value or block title to jump directly to the Deal Pipeline List Report.
Deal Won:
This block shows the total number of deals that have been moved to a general deal stage of ‘won’ and the total revenue earned from those deals.
