New Dashboards is the next evolution of custom dashboards within the Next Generation Cision Communications Cloud. This hub is full of options for visualizing for news coverage in a variety of ways along with flexible layout control, mobile-friendly views, and enhanced analytics capabilities.
Accessing New Dashboards:
- Click on the Analytics tab.
- Select Dashboards from the drop-down menu.
- Your 5 most recently viewed dashboards will show at the top of the hub. The most recently accessed dashboard will be leftmost in this area.
- The far left of the screen displays the dashboards you have access to, whether created by you or shared with you. Starred dashboards are those you marked as favorites and Archived dashboards are those you have removed, which are both discussed later in this document. These two views are on a per-user basis, meaning if you star or archive a dashboard, others will not see the changes you made to your list of dashboards.
5. At the bottom of the New Dashboards screen, you will see a list view of all dashboards that are related to what is selected on the left-hand menu. This list view will show 50 dashboards per page.
Within this table, you will see the following data for each dashboard:
A. Dashboard Name- The name of the dashboard. | C. Last Modified- The date the dashboard was last edited. |
B. Owner- The name of the person who created the dashboard appears under the Category information. The owner can be selected from a drop down menu. When an Owner is selected, the list will only show dashboards created by that owner. | D. Searches- The number of searches that are within the widgets in that dashboard. |
Filtering the Dashboards
You have a variety of options available for you to quickly find and access the dashboard for which you are looking:
- Select an Owner from the drop down menu to see only dashboards created by a particular person.
- Use the Sort By option to see all dashboards Sorted by either Last Date Modified, Name of Dashboard, or Owner in ascending or descending order.
- Use the Search option to type in the name of a particular dashboard to locate it. Note: The Search function searches only dashboard names.
4. You may also filter using the new Campaigns drop down on the left-hand side of the New Dashboards screen.
NOTE: The new Campaigns drop down will appear ONLY if you have new dashboards assigned to a Campaign. If you do not have any Dashboards assigned, you will not see this dropdown.
5. Once you've selected a Campaign, your Dashboard view will filter to only those Dashboards included in your Campaign. |  |
