Read your dashboard in five minutes
Business snapshot, at-risk actions, your day, quota attainment — the dashboard is a briefing, not wallpaper. Here is how to read it, and how to make it yours.
What you’ll achieve
A five-minute morning routine that replaces an hour of tab-hopping: what changed, what is at risk, and what deserves your attention today.
Why this matters
Most dashboards are opened twice: at rollout and in the renewal call. The difference is a reading habit — knowing which three tiles answer “what do I do today?” so the rest can stay ambient.
The steps
- 1
Start with the snapshot widgets
The Business Snapshot and Pipeline Trend widgets give you the headline: pipeline value, movement, and direction. Read them like a weather report — thirty seconds, context for everything else.
- 2
Go where the risk is
The At-Risk Action Center and Closing Pressure widgets surface deals that need a decision — slipping scores, close-date warnings. Each one links through to the deal page with the evidence.
- 3
Check your own day
My Day collects what belongs to you specifically. Pair it with the Pending inbox (see the Pending guide) and you have your personal to-do covered without a sticky note.
- 4
Trust the readiness strip
The “Workspace readiness” strip tells you which insights are live and proven on your data. If a widget seems quiet, readiness usually explains why — and names the next step.
- 5
Make it yours with “Customize dashboard”
Click “Customize dashboard” to add, remove, and rearrange widgets. Changes apply to “Your view” only — the shared team view stays unchanged — and you can “Reset to team view” or “Update from team view” at any time.
- Use the S / M / L density toggle to fit more on screen.
- Leaders: “Present dashboard” runs it as a slideshow — a ready-made pipeline meeting opener.
You’re done when
- You can answer “what needs me today?” from the dashboard alone.
- Your view shows the widgets you actually read, and nothing else.
