Create Dashboards to track KPIs in GorgiasUpdated 4 days ago

With dashboards, you can create tailored views to track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), organize data into actionable insights, and streamline decision-making. You can combine multiple charts and metrics into a single dashboard, empowering your team to focus on the most relevant data for their goals.

What are reports and dashboards?

In Gorgias, a report is a pre-built set of charts that gives you insights into specific aspects of your business. Gorgias creates these reports and includes carefully selected metrics tailored to common customer support and business needs. They serve as a foundation for understanding KPIs and tracking trends.

You can add specific metrics from reports to a dashboard to create a customized overview of the metrics that matter most to your organization. While reports provide structured, ready-to-use analytics, dashboards provide an at-a-glance overview that you can adapt to your unique business needs.

By using reports and dashboards together, you can benefit from both structured insights and the ability to customize and organize data for deeper analysis and collaboration.

Tips for creating dashboards

• Identify the key metrics that align with your business goals. 
• Use the filtering options to refine data and focus on the most relevant insights. 
• Leverage the ability to reuse charts from existing reports to save time and ensure consistency. 
• Keep dashboards organized by naming them descriptively and using emojis for quick visual identification.
• Make use of the export feature to integrate dashboard insights into broader business strategies or reports.
