Creating Dashboards
Updated over 9 months ago

Our CRM comes out of the box with pre-created dashboards for tracking individual and team metrics. You can also build your own custom dashboards, using metrics from the pre-built and custom reports available.

Accessing Apto Dashboards

Click on the app launcher - the nine dots found in the top left of your screen. In the search bar that appears, type and click on “Dashboards”.

The Dashboards tab displays dashboards that are ready to use. Click on All Dashboards, then click on any Dashboard Name to review a pre-built dashboard.

You can create a new dashboard from scratch by clicking on New Dashboard in the top right corner of the Dashboards tab.

You'll be prompted to name your dashboard. Click Create. An empty grid will appear - click the +Component button at the top of the Dashboards tab to select metrics from your Apto reports to add as components to your custom dashboard.

Click Save in the upper right corner of the Dashboards tab when finished.

Salesforce users in all editions can now use rich text and image widgets in Lightning

dashboards.

  • You can add images (e.g. company logos and branding, flow diagrams, and embedded images and even animated GIFs), rich text & report chart or table.

  • Dashboards support up to 25 widgets, including a maximum of 20 charts and tables, 3 images, and 25 rich text widgets. The former limit was 20 in total.

Click on Widget when creating/editing a dashboard and add the widget(s) of your liking.

Here is how the widgets will look on the dashboard.

You can use these widgets to guide users through their data with section titles, narrative text. E.g. Explaining charts or describing metrics and KPIs, where users need it.
