A Smart Dashboard is a program that will display robot data in structured report form with graphs and tables. The Smarter Dashboards help you by offering reports and an analysed view of the data in real time:

• Display selected data while the program is running, for direct insights and a live view into the organisations statistics and workflows.

• The data can be displayed as simple text fields or more elaborately in many other display types like graphs, dials and so on.

Managing Data Integrity

But how do you make sure the data is connected to the right sources, and manage data integrity? You can connect the Smartsheet directly into your database or ERP systems making them Smarter Dashboards.

And how do you ensure that the reports and dashboards are available to the right personnel so the data is understood in the correct context? Our Smartsheet consultants can help you integrate your systems into Smartsheet and help you tailor the reports to present an appropriate view for each team.

What is the benefit of dashboard in Smartsheet?

Business dashboards connect users with data at-a-glance in real time

Dashboards help you tailor a view of your data. At Smarter Business Processes we can help you surface the right information and present it to appropriate team members.

We can also help you to automate your smart dashboards to ensure prompt and streamlined reporting. And we can set up access for remote teams to view and add to the data even if they are offline, and staying in sync when they are able to reconnect.

Smartsheet Dashboards give data clarity and perspective

Helping you surface the right information at the right time, so you can make better decisions faster

Smartsheet Dashboards are a great way to get quick, visual status updates of any combination of your team’s work and projects.  See live summary reports of goals, get reminders of important deadlines and follow links to key documents – all in one customizable view.   Available as part of Smartsheet Business and Enterprise Plans.

Slice and analytical functions work well in smart sheets

Many customers ask – Is there a slicer in Smartsheet? Use slices to filter your table data. It enables you to focus on one data set at at time, by only including some of the rows and some of the columns. So yes there is a slicer and filter option in Smartsheet.

In Smartsheet you can also filter by any cell data type. This enables you to view and and analyse the smallest segments of the data for further clarity enabling informed decision making.

Plus the dashboards are customisable and interactive. So they can be used to show and track specific data content.

In addition you can connect the Smartsheet dashboards to enterprise data to give visibility and inform real time decision making.They provide a powerful real time view of critical data.

We want you to be able to share your work with who needs it, in whatever capacity you deem appropriate. Share a little, or share a lot. Share single cells or full rows from your sheet, the entire sheet itself, or the greater digital workspace. Even better — share with external collaborators who don’t use Smartsheet. Recently, we challenged ourselves to improve that sharing even more, and we’re excited to bring you greater control over workspace permission administration.

Enhanced sharing puts you in command

Until now, sharing an entire workspace was possible, but doing so granted access to every single sheet in the workspace. In our newest product upgrade, you now have the ability to share only as much of the workspace as you need, either internally or externally. This allows for more discretionary sharing — a solution to one of our top user requests.

Now you can be selective and purposeful in what data is sent, saving you immeasurable trouble or embarrassment by keeping information out of the hands of those who don’t need it. Differential sharing also simplifies sending data to clients, consultants, and contractors. Select the exact sheets within a workspace you’d like to send to internal or external individuals. You decide how much of your workspace collaborators see.

How improved workspace sharing works

Workspace members who are granted sharing permission will see two buttons on the Sharing form for a sheet or report in their workspace:

1. Share Sheet shares the sheet individually.
2. Share Workspace shares the workspace.
3. When sharing a workspace, choose only those sheets that you desire recipients to see.
4. In the sharing list for a sheet in a workspace, icons show who has access to the entire workspace versus who is shared only to the sheet.

It’s as simple as that! The change may seem small, but can mean a world of difference when choosing what information others receive. What’s more, the new sharing feature also interacts with our exciting new Smartsheet offering: Smartsheet Sights. Sights provides unprecedented visibility into your work — including a high-level view of team, project, or department performance with real-time information and metrics. And now the insights provided can be shared with all of the decision makers in your organization so they can make the most informed choices.

If you’re not already a Smartsheet customer, arrange a free 30-day trial, free consultation or demonstration and see how work collaboration and real-time updates streamline processes.
