With the Dashboards feature, you can consolidate data from a range of modules in Dayforce and show them in dashboards. Each dashboard consists of a series of views that depict the latest trends and visualizations needed to make informed decisions and better understand the performance of your organization’s HCM functions. You can create new dashboards depending on what information you want to show together; you can also group your dashboards to make them easier to navigate.
The types of data that you can monitor include employee turnover, demographics, head count, and absence, among many other HCM categories.
Dashboards Overview
In Reporting and Analytics > Dashboards > Dashboards, you can view all of your configured dashboards. Your favorite dashboards are listed at the top of the screen, and you can click the names to view them:
If the dashboard isn’t in your favorites, you can click Add to Favorites at the top right of the screen to add it. If the dashboard is already in your favorites, the button becomes Remove from Favorites; click the button to remove it.
You can access all of your dashboards by clicking the tab on the left side of the screen and selecting the desired option in the slide-out panel under the relevant dashboard group.
Each dashboard can contain several views. For example, the Headcount Analysis option in the previous screenshot contains views of head count by age band and head count by division:
You can customize which views appear in a dashboard to show the information you need. There are four types of views that you can show in your dashboards:
- Charts: Provide a graphical representation of the data. The example chart view below shows the average hourly salary by job type.
- Tables: Show data in a table. You can include multi-level tables with cross tabs. The example table below shows an employee list.
-
- Metrics: Measure a time period against a target. The example metric below shows various salary measures against the time period of a month.
-
- KPIs: Provide an aggregate measure for a point in time against a target. The example KPI below shows the average hourly salary for employees over the last 12 months.
