Dashboards provide you with a beautiful, interactive interface on which to view all your most important metrics exactly as you like them. We've added many new features to this beloved tool over the years, and today, I'm happy to share that you can now add comparisons within Dashboard cards to get a clear sense of trends over time. Read on for the full details.
What's new? π§
You can now compare the data in cards within your dashboard to data from the Prior period or Prior-LY. This can be useful if you would like to see how certain metrics have trended over time and whether you have improved since the last period or last year.
Important to note π
These selections are dependent on the selected period type. For instance, Prior is only available for weekly and daily periods.
Note π: If you don't want to see a comparison, you can also select None.
Exceptions βοΈ
Certain cards only have the compare-to options of Prior-LY and None. These include the following:
Cash (except cash in vs cash out)
Subscription data
Connections
Products
Customers
Scorecards
Cash flow
How does this work? π οΈ
This setting can be adjusted via the menu settings menu indicated by the cog icon at the top right of each card. Simply click on the cog icon and select "Compare." If you hover over "Compare," you'll see the relevant options.
Closing thoughts π
While this is a simple change, we are confident it will greatly impact your dashboard experience, helping you assess critical trends at a glance. I hope that you will enjoy these updates. As always, if you have any feedback or queries, please get in touch with your account manager.
