The QBeeQ Self Service Dashboard plugin elevates the capabilities of viewers by empowering them to create and design their own dashboards from prebuilt widgets. With this powerful product you can enable viewers to perform their own ad-hoc analytics – without the risk of exposing the data schema to them.

Use the Self Service Dashboard to:

Allow viewers to create their own data stories
Strengthen your single source of truth by defining global formulas which will be used by all designers and viewers
Embed the entire QBeeQ Self-Service Analytics product into any 3rd party application as an integral part of your analytics suite
Leverage a highly dynamic interface with a drag-and-drop builder and resizable grid to create new dashboard layouts that were unavailable till now
Reduce the volume of support requests and noise from change requests
Decrease the amount of time for delivery and the number of feedback iterations

How Does It Actually Work?

Viewers mark their favourite widgets by starring them in any dashboard which pulls data from any data source. Once a widget is starred it will appear in the setup section where the viewers can create their own dashboards. This way viewers are able to decide for themselves which widgets are the most important for them, and keep those widgets together on one or more self-service dashboards.

In the setup section the viewer defines which widgets should be included in each dashboard. The dashboard layout is not predefined. Once a self-service dashboard is created, the viewer can drag & drop and resize the various widgets on a highly dynamic grid which allows the creation of many advanced dashboard layouts.

What’s the Big Idea?

We believe that broader access to data creates better businesses. The Self Service Dashboard plugin can be used along with our Widget Controller to give every Sisense user the ability to create the dashboards, views, and reports that they need to be successful and offer a true Self-Service Analytics experience to any non-techy users.

Using the Self Service Dashboard

Step 1 – The viewer can “star” one or more of their favorite widgets. (The star icon and its colour can be modified.)

Step 2 – The stars on the selected widgets will be highlighted and the widgets will appear in the Self Service Dashboard Config section.

The Self Service analytics section will appear in the header (or wherever it is embedded).

Step 3 – The viewer creates a new self-service dashboard and selects which widgets to include.

Step 4 – The viewer designs and uses their self-service dashboard.

Going forward, the viewer can add more widgets or change them as required. The dashboard creator has a highly intuitive drag-and-drop grid with endless possible layouts.
