      Overview: Performance Screen

      The Performance Screen allows each user to select and quickly access the Metrics, Goals, Databoards, and Reports that matter to them most. From the Performance Screen, you can get instant insights into your top-performing and under-performing Metrics. You can also customize what's displayed and track your Account activity in Databox. 

      HOW TO

      How to use your Performance Screen

      The Performance Screen is user-specific, which means that its settings are unique for each individual user within an account and that it cannot be set for other users.

      Pro Tip: Follow this Onboarding Guide for step-by-step instructions on how to get set up with Databox. For our Agency Partners, we have this Agency-specific Onboarding Guide available. 

      • A) Performance Overview: This section will consist of 10 selected Metrics and/or Goals. You can add a Metric or a Goal to the Performance Overview by clicking on “Add Metric” or “Add Goal” on a free space. 
      • B) Recently viewed: In this section, you will be able to see your last 10 viewed Databoards, Looped Databoards, and/or Reports.
      • C) Trending Metrics and Insights: In this section, you can switch between Trending Metrics and Insights Activity. 

        Trending Metrics show the top 5 trending up and top 5 trending down Metrics that are added to My Metrics. These can help you quickly identify trends and help you improve your performance. 
        Insights Activity is a stream of Data Insights, Account Activity, and Recommended Content. Each user in your Account can customize their Insights Activity so that you can all address issues and capitalize on opportunities in real-time.
