Configure Dashboards

This article explains how to configure an Enablement Engine Dashboard, including adding and configuring widgets in Dashboards, and sharing a Dashboard. Gainsight recommends that you first read the Dashboard Overview article and then proceed with this article.

Overview

Dashboards offer an interactive way of viewing data. By default, Gainsight provides you with the Gainsight EE Dashboard.  You can add and customize multiple Dashboards. This article explains how to create multiple Dashboards and share them with different users.

Business Use Cases 

You can create separate Dashboards for each user, based on their requirements. For example, you can create a Dashboard, set it to private and grant access only to the top level executives who are interested in viewing performance of company KPIs. You can also create a Dashboard for a Product Manager and include widgets which show key metrics for the product they own. 

View and Switch Dashboards

This section explains how to view existing dashboards and switch between multiple Dashboards. 

The Dashboard page contains a list of all the Dashboards configured on your page or shared with you. You can view Dashboard data or switch between dashboards from the Dashboard page. 

To view or switch between Dashboards:

  1. In the left pane, click Dashboard. The Dashboard which is configured as the Default Dashboard, is displayed. 

  2. From the drop-down menu, select another dashboard. You can now view widgets from the selected Dashboard.
