Set Up Role-Based Customizable Dashboards

Context

Role-Based Dashboards let you create customizable Analytics dashboards that provide role-specific information. Demandbase provides you with a Sales Dashboard and a Marketing Dashboard out of the box, but you can create your own or customize the existing ones further for each of your roles, typically Sales and Marketing roles.

Create or customize which sections and reports appear for each dashboard, so that each role can quickly find what they’re looking for and take the appropriate action.

Prerequisites

Users must be created in Demandbase. See Manage Users and Roles. 

Administrator permissions.

Steps

1. From the left navigation bar, go to Settings > Analytics > Dashboard Settings.
2. Create a dashboard:
   Create a new dashboard or skip to step 3 to customize the existing Marketing Dashboard and/or Sales Dashboard.
   a. Click Create New Dashboard.
   
   b. Enter the Dashboard Name and click Create. The Dashboard Sections page opens.
3. Customize a dashboard:
   By default, the Dashboard Sections page includes all available sections and no individual reports. You can accept the default settings or customize your dashboard as follows:
   a. To remove a section, click the minus sign on the right. To add a section that you removed, select it from the Select… drop-down.
   
   b. To add a report, select it from the same Select... drop-down.
   
   c. Drag and drop sections and reports to change the order in which they appear.
4. Assign users to the dashboard. 
   a. In Settings > User Management > View Management, create or click into the View that you want to assign the dashboard to. See Manage User Views.
   b. From the Analytics Dashboard drop-down, select the dashboard that you want to share.
   
   

Outcome

The users assigned to the View you selected see the Analytics dashboard that you created.
