Organize data into custom views and indicators to monitor information, activities and process results.
How many assets are in use, in stock or under repair? Are tickets being resolved on time? Which contracts expire this month? CMDBuild dashboards answer these questions at a glance, with indicators (KPIs) calculated from CMDB data and always up to date.
The components
Each dashboard is a page devoted to a topic, freely built from these elements:
Indicators
A key figure with an icon and a color that changes with the value, such as "Open tickets: 12". One click opens the list of matching cards.
Charts
Horizontal or vertical bar, line, pie, Pareto and gauge charts, to spot trends and proportions at a glance.
Tables
Data from a type of card, a process or a view, for example expiring contracts with their supplier and amount.
Lists
Compact lists, such as the latest reports received, from which you can open each item's card with a single click.
Calendars
Events such as scheduled maintenance or deadlines, shown by month or as an agenda to help plan the work.
Text
Free text for titles, comments and instructions, to help people read the dashboard and understand what the data represents.
Data comes from cards, processes, views and database functions, so the dashboard always reflects the real situation.
Filters and drill-down
Page-level filters
General filters at the top of the page let you select criteria such as site or period and automatically update all the components compatible with the selection.
Chart-level filters
Each chart can have its own filters to drill down into the data it displays. They act only on that component, without changing the other elements of the page.
From each component you can also:
Open it full screen for a better view
Refresh the data instantly, with one click
See the data table it is calculated from
Export the data or the image
Easy to configure
From the Administration Module it takes just three steps:
1
Create the page
A new dashboard devoted to the topic you want to monitor.
2
Split it into rows and columns
The page layout determines where the components go.
3
Drag in the components
For each one, choose the data to show and how it looks.
No developers needed: all it takes is knowing the structure of your CMDB.
Everyone sees their own indicators
Dashboards appear in the Data Management Module menu, and permissions determine which user groups can view them: management, service managers, technicians.
The start page
A home page for each group
Tailored to each role
As soon as they log in, the service desk finds open tickets, management finds costs, technicians find the day's work orders.
The same components
Indicators, charts, tables, lists, calendars and text, arranged in rows and columns just like a dashboard.
Instant search
A search box, which can be customized with an image, to find cards right away in the types chosen by the administrator.
AI-powered too
With an artificial intelligence plugin such as PowerFinder, search accepts questions in natural language.
