Executive Dashboard

Create an exclusive dashboard to visualise data from multiple surveys

The Executive Dashboard is a place where the data from different surveys can be compared and correlated to get useful insights. In a dashboard, multiple widgets can be configured to compare data from different surveys. 

Let’s create a dashboard:

1. Click the Dashboards option found at the top of the Home Page.

2. If this is your first dashboard, the option below appears. Click on the Create New Dashboard.

(or)  If there are existing dashboards, the following option will appear: Click on New Widget and choose New Dashboard as highlighted below.

3. Enter the Title and Description for future reference. Once done, click Create New Dashboard.

4. Wonderful! The Customer Feedback dashboard is created. To add a new widget to the dashboard, click “Add Widget” on the screen.

5. When the Add Widget is clicked, all the available types of graphs are shown. Let’s choose a Vertical Bar Chart to create a simple graph. 

6. Choose the Survey Name(Source), X-axis and Y-axis for the graph. In the Y-axis, you can choose operations that are highlighted below.

7. Once the required data is chosen and the graph appears, hit Add to Dashboard.

Yaay! And the first widget in your dashboard is all set.

In addition to this, you may add as many widgets as you need by clicking on the plus or New Widget buttons.
