The Positive Business Outcome Dashboard

 

Overview

The purpose of the Positive Business Outcome Dashboard is to provide CS and Sales teams with a measurable, comparative tool that can help Client Organizations realize the positive impact of ClosePlan on their Sales efforts.

Each Client Org may have different fields measuring things such as Amount and Expected Revenue.

A System Administrator should review the Dashboard and Reports to ensure they are surfacing the correct data.

Suggestion: CS Managers should check the Dashboard components with the Client to ensure that the underlying Reports are working and delivering usable information to Clients.

Check the Dashboard Filters and Dashboard Layout.

Important Notes on Report Creation

Notes on Components

Custom fields may be used in Client Orgs that do not perfectly correspond to Standard Fields provided by Salesforce indicated in this document. CS and TS must engage with the client to ensure that the right data is being surfaced by the Reports and Dashboards.

Example: Forecast Amounts may be represented in different ways in different fields each with a different Field name in Client Orgs.

Grant Login access to your Org so that Technical Success can rebuild the PBO Dashboard

View Dashboard As Value definitions:

  • Me

    • You’re the dashboard creator, and Users see data in the dashboard according to your access to data.
      Example: If you can see opportunities only in Canada, the dashboard viewer only sees data about opportunities in Canada.

  • Another person

    • The dashboard viewer sees data in the dashboard according to the data access level of the person that you specify.
      Example: If you choose someone who can see opportunities from any country, the dashboard viewer sees data about opportunities from all countries.

  • The dashboard viewer

    • The dashboard viewer sees data based on their own access to data. This type of dashboard is called a dynamic dashboard because it changes based on the viewer’s privileges.

  • Let dashboard viewers choose whom they view the dashboard as

    • To enable viewers with appropriate user permissions to choose who they view the dashboard as, select Let dashboard viewers choose whom they view the dashboard as. If the viewer has View My Team’s Dashboards permission, they can view the dashboard as themselves or as anyone beneath them in the role hierarchy. If the viewer has View All Data permission, they can view the dashboard as anyone.

Click Save, and from the Dashboard Builder, click Save again.

When a User opens your dashboard, they see data as the person that you specified.
