Creating Custom Dashboards

The top page of your SegMetrics account your default analytics dashboard, with access to your latest leads, revenue, lead value, top products and more. And while the default Dashboard may be enough for some people, SegMetrics gives you the power to easily create and customize your own dashboards.

You can create multiple dashboards to organize your reporting data, and each dashboard can contain multiple widgets, based on the saved reports you've already made, to give you an overview of the KPIs that matter most for your business.

4. Click Save Dashboard

Types of Widgets

A dashboard can have one or more of the following kinds of widgets:

• Single Value - A single KPI value from the report that the widget is based on
• Snapshot - A sparkline and single KPI value from the report that the widget is based on. This is the same as the snapshot from the Saved Reports menu item.
• Timeline - A graph detailing the change in a single KPI over time
• Table - Displays up to two KPIs from the report that the widget is based on. Can be set to show the top 5 or 10 rows.
• Custom HTML - This is a special type of widget that allows you to input custom HTML into the dashboard. This is useful for embedding reports from other systems into SegMetrics.

By default Widgets take on the properties of report that they're based on, and show data in a 30-day rolling report. You can add additional options and settings by turning on the widget's  Advanced Settings.
