What is it?
Dashboards are a collection of pre-built, role-based views designed to surface the most relevant insights for each user. Users can further personalize their experience by adding configurable dashlets, external widgets, and by creating multiple dashboards tailored to different use cases.
Reps, Managers, and Sales Leaders benefit from a focused, personalized view of the data that matters most to them. This enables faster access to insights and helps them quickly identify areas for improvement.

Key Benefits

- Efficiency and Accessibility: Quick access to key metrics reduces time spent navigating and filtering data, increasing productivity, particularly for sales teams.

- Scalable and Adaptable Use: The ability to create multiple dashboards for different use cases makes the solution flexible and scalable as business needs evolve.
Navigation
Users can access the Dashboard directly from the TruVoice homepage or by navigating to Insights → Dashboard. Each user role is provided with a set of recommended, role-specific dashlets by default. These dashlets can be added, removed, and customized to suit individual needs.
Dashlets offer interactive functionality, including controls, hover states, and links that allow users to explore the underlying data in greater detail beyond the summary view.
To create an optimal layout, dashlets can be rearranged using drag-and-drop functionality. Users can also adjust the size and configuration of each dashlet through its settings window, enabling a fully personalized dashboard experience.
Adding Dashlet
In the top-right corner, the Add Dashlet button opens a window where users can add additional dashlets to their role-based dashboard. Note: The available dashlets may vary based on user role and feature availability.
Dashlet Settings
When adding or editing a dashlet, users are presented with Dashlet Settings, which allow for further customization. These settings typically include options for the dashlet title, subtitle, width, and height. In addition, each dashlet includes type-specific settings that control its unique behavior.
Remember: It may be desirable to have more than one instance on your dashboard of a given dashlet type because versions may feature different customizations (e.g. customized for insights on different products, or performance data per team/department).
The Dashlet Settings window can also be opened by clicking the three-dot menu on any existing dashlet and selecting Edit. This allows users to update the dashlet’s layout, appearance, and configuration to better refine insights.
From this same menu, users can also Remove a dashlet or access Dashlet Help, which links to the relevant help article for that dashlet.
Navigating Roles Based Dashboard
Users can navigate between prebuilt dashboards designed for specific role types. Selecting a role displays a tailored dashboard layout with dashlets relevant to that role’s responsibilities.
To navigate to a role-based dashboard:
Click the Dashboard dropdown located next to the Add Dashlet button.
Select the desired role from the list.
Once the dashboard loads, users can see the default layout and dashlets for the selected role
Creating Custom Dashboards
Users can create their own custom dashboards if they prefer not to use the default role-based dashboard layouts.
To create a custom dashboard:
Open the Dashboard dropdown
Click New Dashboard
Add Dashboard Name and click Save.
Once a dashboard is created, users can add the required dashlets by clicking the Add Dashlet button.
Dashboard Actions
Users can perform various actions on a dashboard by clicking the three-dot menu beside the dashboard name. The available actions include:
Make Primary Dashboard: Set the dashboard as the primary view. This dashboard will then be displayed by default every time the user logs in. Available for Role-Based and Custom Dashboards.
Duplicate Dashboard: Create a copy of the dashboard. This is useful when only minor changes are needed, but multiple dashboards are required. Available for Role-Based and Custom Dashboards.
Rename: Change the name of the dashboard. Available for Custom Dashboards only.
Share Dashboard: Share the dashboard with another user, allowing them to view and make edits. Available for Custom Dashboards only.
Share a Copy of Dashboard: Share a read-only copy of the dashboard so others can view the dashlets and data but cannot edit them. Available for Custom Dashboards only.
Delete Dashboard: Permanently remove the dashboard. Available for Custom Dashboards only.
Example Use Cases
- For Sales Rep: Access a personalized dashboard that highlights the most relevant data, allowing reps to quickly focus on areas for improvement. Dashlets provide direct insights without the need to navigate multiple filters or reports.
