New Feature Roundup: Sharing Dashboards and more…

We’d like to introduce ‘Sharing Dashboards’ the latest feature we’ve rolled out as part of a general improvement to the KPI Dashboards within SimpleKPI.

Users can now share their KPI Dashboard views with team members, individuals or entire groups.

You can find the new dashboard sharing feature by clicking the ‘Share’ settings on the Dashboards Screen. To share a dashboard, simply choose a group or individual to share with.

More Dashboard improvements…

Users can now order dashboard tabs by dragging them to a new location. We’ve also been busy tidying up some of the icons and designs.

You can also choose from 5 new grid formats for your KPI Dashboard layouts.

NEW : Reporting upgrade

Today we're making some very important changes to SimpleKPI. We’ve been working on a solution to enhance reporting, making it easier to view any number of KPIs side by side - all in one place. This update will include a whole new reports tab, and in line with our ‘keep it simple’ policy, users merely select their KPIs, a data range, choose whether to compare different time periods and then save the report for use at a later date.

The new reports functionality is now live on your SimpleKPI account. Please take it for a test drive and let us know what you think.

A few more issues fixed

We have also fixed some other known issues within SimpleKPI.

• • Updating user's details
• • Percentage change error in analytics calculations
• • Extended out of trial account period
• • KPI Entry target and actual colours have been changed in line with analytics and reporting
• • Consolidated the manage tabs into a single 'Manage My' dropdown
• • Date label wrapping on dashboard widgets

Developer API

The SimpleKPI API is an exciting step forward towards making it easier to integrate your data into the platform.

You can now integrate your data straight into SimpleKPI and start benefiting from real-time analytics, dashboards and reporting with our API.

Get started and build something great.

Manufacturing KPIs

Keeping up with your output, and knowing exactly where everything is at every stage of the manufacturing process can be a headache without the proper KPIs.

To help get started we’ve put together a template of the most common manufacturing KPIs for you to tailor to your requirements.

The new manufacturing KPI Template can be found here.

We’ve also been busy in the KPI Library, by adding an additional 100+ KPIs across a range of industries.

Cleaning up your KPI Dashboard

A KPI Dashboard provides a great way of visualising metrics by using graphs, gauges, and other data driven tools. With something so simple and powerful the temptation is always there to visualise everything and everyone. We have put together our top 4 dashboard clean-up recommendations.

• Display only Key Performance Indicators – a dashboard should be lean and mean - it’s not for every metric imaginable.

• Tell a story – organise the dashboard views to follow a natural and logical flow of data.

• If you don’t need to view this data once a day / week, do you really need it on the dashboard?

• Am I seeing the same data twice, is the data appearing in another table or graph.
