Dashboards In Autotask


Dashboard Solutions Available with the Revision 2016.2 Release:

Autotask’s Dashboards and Widgets are designed to provide critical business metrics based on real-time data at your fingertips. With this latest release, Autotask has provided the ability for your Dashboards and Widgets to be both scalable and interactive. To learn more or obtain help with any of the FAQ’s listed below – email me!

How can you provide Management with Resource Specific dashboards and eliminate duplicate tabs?

Maybe you have a standard Sales Rep Dashboard for Management to review each team member’s performance. In order to obtain the same information quickly you have 6 versions of the same dashboard. What happens when a new Rep is hired, what about when a widget needs to be adjusted?

  • Now you can access the Tab Settings and Associate a Tab Filter. Choose from 12 filter options! Once activated a dropdown will display at the top of your Dashboard Tab and can be changed interactively when needed.

Can we easily share a Widget with someone?

Widgets can be copied easily as long as you have access to the Tab. However, if you create an awesome Widget and need to share with a team member it was not so easy.

  • Now you can select a custom Widget and share it to another resource by hovering over the Widget options and selecting “Offer”. The next time they login they will be prompted to accept the widget for their personal Dashboard.

How can we Edit a Transaction directly from a Widget?

AutoTask initially designed Widgets to be informational. This resulted in instant data availability but then required drill down or additional clicks to edit the information.

  • Leverage the new Grid View icon to Inquire, Adjust Prices, Edit the Entry or Approve & Post transactions for Billing. Don’t forget that you can select multiple lines and then click the dropdown at the top for “Approve & Post All”.

You may love Dashboards but can your Clients have them too?

Users can access the Client Portal but the system does not currently have the ability to display Dashboards.

  • By leveraging many of the AutoTask tools like the New Tab Filters, Territory restrictions and special login security, your client could have their own Dashboard for inquiry only!
