Market Dashboard: Use Case Guided Templates

Market Dashboard: Use Case Guided Templates

Market Dashboard has a use case–based guided experience designed to make it easier for you to find insights and take action quickly. Instead of navigating a full dashboard with many charts, you can start by selecting a primary goal from a predefined list of common use cases.

How It Works

  • When creating a Market Dashboard, you are prompted to select a primary goal from the list below.
  • The dashboard reconfigures to show a guided flow with just the relevant charts.
  • The system remembers the last used view and loads it automatically on the next visit.

Different Templates

The guided flow is built around the most common reasons you explore Market Dashboards. Each option reconfigures the dashboard to show a step-by-step path with only the most relevant charts for that goal.
