Dashboard Cards

The top section of the dashboard is reserved for Metric Cards, where users can display the key performance indicators they want to monitor on that particular dashboard.

Types of Cards

• Metrics: These cards display the value of a metric calculated by the system for a specific period. By default, Metric Cards inherit the dashboard's chosen period and filters. However, this can be overridden at the card level.
• Formulas: Formulas empower users to create custom metrics derived from other cards on the dashboard.

How to Add Metric Card

Note: Only the dashboard Owner can edit it.

1. Open the dashboard that you own.
2. Click Edit.
   
3. Click Add card.
   
4. Choose card Type: Metric.
   
   
5. Select the Metric you want to display on the card from the list of available options.
   • • • Tip: You can start typing the metric's name to quickly locate it.
         
         
6. Specify the Period (Optional). By default, the card will inherit the period set for the entire dashboard. However, you can override this at the card level. If you choose to specify a different period, the card will disregard the dashboard's period.
   • • • Note: To revert to the dashboard's date range, click the "Reset to Dashboard Date Range" button.
         
7. Add Filters to the metric if needed. A metric can be filtered by various criteria (such as Client, Department, Project, etc.) to help narrow down and focus on the most relevant data. 
   
8. Set a Title. The card's title is derived from the metric's name by default. But you can customize it as needed.
9. Click Add.

How to Copy a Metric Card

Instead of creating a Metric Card from scratch, you can copy an existing card.
