From Data to Decisions

While Workviews are for doing the work, Dashboards are for understanding it. They are the analytical canvases within your ⏹️ Space that transform the raw data from your team’s daily activities into clear, visual insights. This guide will teach you how to read, interact with, and get data out of the Dashboards that have been designed for your team’s processes. This is how you move from just tracking work to making data-driven decisions.
The Dashboards in your Space were designed by an architect as part of the 📋 Function blueprint. They are pre-configured to show the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and metrics that are most important for your specific project or process.

​
Reading a Dashboard

A Dashboard is composed of various “gadgets,” each designed to show information in a different way. Common gadgets you will encounter include:
  • Charts (Bar, Pie, Line): Used to visualize trends over time, compare categories, or see proportions.
  • Counters & Calculations: Display important totals at a glance, like “Total Revenue This Quarter” or “Average Ticket Resolution Time.”
  • Object Lists: Show a specific, filtered list of 🧊 Objects, such as “All High-Priority Overdue Tasks” or “Recently Closed Deals.”

​
Interacting with Your Data

The most powerful aspect of a Dashboard is that it’s not a static image—it’s an interactive tool for exploration. You can filter, drill down, and export data to answer specific questions. 
# Tutorial: Analyzing Data on a Dashboard

! Important: Filtering a Dashboard only affects your own view and does not change what your teammates see.

## Section 1: Filtering the Dashboard

1.  **Locate the Dashboard Filters**
    At the top of the `Dashboard`, you will find a set of filter controls, such as `Date Range` or `Assignee`.

2.  **Apply a Filter**
    Select a value from one of the filters. For example, choose a specific user from the `Assignee` filter. All gadgets on the `Dashboard` will instantly update to show data related only to that person.

## Section 2: Drilling Down and Exporting

1.  **Drill Down into Data**
    Hover over a segment of a chart (like a single bar in a bar chart). Often, you can click on it to "drill down" and see a filtered list of the specific `Objects` that make up that data point.

2.  **Export a Report**
    Hover over a gadget, such as an `Object List`, and click the `...` (More actions) menu. Select the `Export to CSV` option to download the data from that specific gadget for offline analysis in a spreadsheet.
