Most importantly, you can <\/span><b>tailor the KPIs included in your personalized dashboard in line with your business objectives<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That way, your <\/span><b>dashboard only displays the metrics that are important to you<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This makes it much easier to keep track of your progress in all areas of effective people management.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, before you invest in a custom dashboard, it\u2019s important to <\/span><b>consider which dashboard features you will have access to<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The features offered by a solution will determine the <\/span><b>level of control that you have over dashboard customization and the data you can access<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a look at some of the reasons <\/span><b>why custom dashboard features are so important<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a bit more detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Prevent information overload<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>People management involves keeping track of a lot of data<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

You also need to keep track of your diversity metrics; monitor retention levels; ensure your policies are legally compliant; implement processes for onboarding and offboarding employees; and work on measures to <\/span><b>improve the overall employee experience<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And countless other processes and workflows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s a lot of information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><b>custom dashboard<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help you <\/span><b>streamline all this data and prevent information overload<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span>Other tools like a <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/leave-management-system\/\">leave management system<\/a> can track PTO, sick leave; however, with a custom dashboard<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you can <\/span><b>personalize the information that you view on a regular basis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That way, you can get <\/span><b>quick answers when you need them<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and you won\u2019t get lost in a sea of KPIs every time you log in or stuck with limited data like PTO. Instead, you can simply select the widget that corresponds to what you need and <\/span><b>instantly access all the insights that you are looking for<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This helps you <\/span><b>make better data-driven decisions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> without wasting valuable time (or giving yourself a headache).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that the product you choose includes<\/span><b> features for customizing the data displayed through your dashboard<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This includes the ability to <\/span><b>add, edit, and remove customized widgets<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so that you can adapt the design of your dashboard in line with your changing needs. That way, you can easily locate what you need every time you log in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Make sure visible data is relevant<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also important to make sure that the custom dashboard that you choose includes <\/span><b>features for ensuring that displayed data is visible and relevant<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A visually appealing personalized dashboard must be <\/span><b>easy to navigate<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and data should be<\/span><b> clear and transparent<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It should highlight the <\/span><b>KPIs that are most important to you<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so that your team can find what they need at all times. It should include <\/span><b>graphs and other graphics<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so that you can visualize your progress easily and there is no risk of confusion. And, most importantly, data needs to be <\/span><b>relevant and informative<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. All this will help you understand the bigger picture so that you don\u2019t miss any important patterns that might negatively impact your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, <\/span><b>data is only useful if it is well explained and expressed in the right context<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If information is overly complicated or unrelated, then will create confusion and misunderstandings within your team. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important that you <\/span><b>pick a product with visually appealing and easy-to-understand data formats<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The key to success is keeping your dashboard <\/span><b>streamlined and simple<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You need everyone on your team to understand exactly what they are looking at each time they search for data.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Prioritize the right tasks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, when you search for a custom dashboard, <\/span><b>make sure you pick a solution with features that enable you to prioritize the tasks that are important to you<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at any given moment. This will obviously change as your business evolves, so you need a custom dashboard that lets you <\/span><b>modify data in line with your changing priorities<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider the following when you build your custom dashboard:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which areas of your business are you trying to improve?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are there any problems that you need to address?

Provided you have access to the necessary features, you can then adapt your custom dashboard accordingly. By <\/span><b>keeping your dashboard continuously updated in line with your priorities<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you can ensure you get the most from your solution now and in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That way, you can:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prioritize the right KPIs for your company.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generate relevant HR reports at the click of a button.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design customized visuals that your team can easily understand.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Access actionable and relevant insights at a glance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify trends and patterns that help you determine which areas of your business you need to prioritize right now.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Factorial\u2019s new personalized dashboard features<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Factorial\u2019s HR software solution, you can <\/span><b>create custom dashboards and HR reports in line with the specific needs of your business<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

For instance, we have just launched a series of <\/span><b>new personalized dashboard features that make your dashboards even more powerful!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a look at some of these new features to see how you can benefit from them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>View\/Edit mode<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our new custom dashboard includes two different modes: <\/span><b>View Mode <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><b>Edit Mode<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will probably recognize View Mode as this is what our customers have had access to until now. With this mode, <\/span><b>users can interact with all the data displayed through the various widgets configured on their dashboard<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Edit Mode is <\/span><b>one of our new, updated features<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. With this feature, <\/span><b>admins and managers can customize the look and feel of the dashboard<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They can configure <\/span><b>which widgets are included<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and what information is displayed to users. They can also <\/span><b>move these widgets around, resize them, remove them, or add new widgets to the dashboard<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All this makes it much easier to design a custom dashboard that meets your specific business objectives.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Resizing and moving (sorting) widgets\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we just mentioned, with our new custom dashboard features, you can now<\/span><b> resize your displayed widgets and move them around<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Users can easily <\/span><b>drag and rearrange<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> their widgets through Edit Mode according to their preferences. They can also change their visibility by making them <\/span><b>larger or smaller<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, depending on their needs. That way, you can ensure that your prioritized KPIs are the first things you see when you access your dashboard.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Removing widgets<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Priorities change and the KPIs that matter most to you one day might be less important in the future. That\u2019s why we now offer customers the ability to <\/span><b>remove widgets once they no longer need to access certain KPIs from their dashboards<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And, if your needs change again, you can <\/span><b>easily add them back<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You can also tag certain widgets as \u201c<\/span><b>static<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d so that they remain in place at all times and there&#8217;s no option to remove them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Adding new widgets<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Users can now easily <\/span><b>customize their own dashboards and add new widgets that are available to them<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They can <\/span><b>add, delete, or move widgets to customize their personalized dashboard layout<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This allows them to tailor their homepage to include the data that is most important to them; the data that enables them to succeed in their role.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Restore version<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our custom dashboard now also includes a new feature that enables users to <\/span><b>restore the automatically generated version of their dashboard<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That way, they can revert to previous settings if needed or reverse any changes that might have been made in error.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Widgets configuration\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, users are now able to <\/span><b>configure the settings of each widget displayed on their custom dashboard<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
