How to use operational dashboard indicators

Why this matters​

Dashboard indicators help prioritize operational issues without reviewing every request manually.

Scope and role notes​

  • Dashboard content depends on role, plan, and tenant configuration.
  • Your interface may expose different widgets or labels.
  • Some indicators can be unavailable in your environment.

What to look at first​

Start with items that can affect service delivery today, such as:

  • unfilled positions today
  • planned hours this week
  • pending leave requests
  • rejected assignments
  • unread messages (if messaging is enabled)

Suggested review flow​

  1. Open your dashboard view at the start of the day.
  2. Identify the highest-risk operational gaps first.
  3. Review staffing issues requiring immediate action.
  4. Review pending leave requests and assignment status issues.
  5. Use these indicators as a daily prioritization input.

Best practices​

  • Review the dashboard daily.
  • Treat it as a decision-support view.
  • Act first on issues that affect the same day or next shift cycle.

Troubleshooting​

Too many priorities appear at once​

Triage by urgency:

  • service at risk
  • same-day staffing gaps
  • unresolved approvals
  • lower-impact follow-ups

The dashboard does not match your operational reality​

Review whether requests, availabilities, assignments, and leave statuses are up to date in the system.
