In the latest installment of our Smart Tips series, I’m thrilled to share how you can create supercharged dashboards that compile data from multiple solutions within SmartSuite.

The Heart of SmartSuite Dashboards

Dashboards in SmartSuite aren't just fancy screens; they are the command centers from where you can oversee your data realm. And guess what? You have the power to name these dashboards as you please and conjure as many as you need. Imagine having a magic mirror for every aspect of your work – that’s what these dashboards are like.

Widgets – The Building Blocks

Enter the world of widgets. These nifty units are the cornerstone of every SmartSuite dashboard. Here’s the scoop: a widget can be anything you want it to be. Need a chart? A table? A comparison metric? You got it!

Customizing these widgets is a breeze. Dive into the settings, and you'll find options galore to determine what type of chart or metric you’d like to display. Fancy a bar graph? Or perhaps a pie chart is more your style. The choice is yours.

Data Decisions: Your Solutions, Your Way

Now, we get to the exciting part: populating these widgets with your data. You have the freedom to pick solutions and apps within Smartsuite to pull from, filtering down to the data that matters most to you.

Setting Up Filters and Groupings:

• Decide on the values that are most important to your dashboard.
• Apply filters to zoom in on specific data points.
• Use groupings to categorize data for easier analysis.

Chart Total 101

Oh, and let's not forget chart totals. Want to have a quick summary of your finances or to track the collective progress of your projects? You're just a few clicks away from setting those up in your widget.

Adding New Widgets

Feel like your dashboard needs a new perspective? Why not add a comparison metric widget? Need to track how this quarter’s sales fared against the last? Just drop that widget onto your dashboard and watch it work its magic.

One Dashboard to Rule Them All

All right, brace yourself for the game changer: unlike the old days of setting up a dashboard per table, you can now create one master dashboard that consolidates data from multiple solutions and tables across your entire workspace. Imagine, having all your data streams flowing into one visually stunning dashboard.

What's more, you can mix and match widgets to your heart's content. One widget can pull data from a sales table, while the one next to it can display marketing metrics. The possibilities are as varied as they are vibrant.
