Customize Your Key Metrics Widget

To customize Key Metrics, click the Dashboard Settings button at the top of the Executive Dashboard.

The Dashboard Settings have three sections related to the Key Metrics: Enrollments, Drops, and Registrations.

Enrollments & Drops

Each of the Enrollment Total, Enrollment Percentage, and Total Drops in the last X days metrics are accompanied by an icon that provides a visual indication of the degree of attention required. The icons are controlled by your defined thresholds, i.e., your tolerance levels.

The icon colors are the same as traffic lights, making the meanings easy to understand and remember:

  • Green means the metric is meeting your goal.
  • Yellow is a warning that the metric value is outside the desired range.
  • Red means the metric has reached a problem level and needs attention.

Use the Green and Yellow fields to define your thresholds. The icons will change to red based on their relationship to the yellow number (< less than or > greater than).

There are two settings labeled Total Drops in Last X days. The first setting specifies the number of days to be measured, and the second setting defines your thresholds for the color-coded icons.

Use the Total Drops in Last X days field to define the number of days included in the Total Drops in Last X days Key Metric.

For Enrollment Total and Enrollment Percentage:

  • A green icon displays if the value is equal to or above the green threshold.
  • A yellow icon displays if the value is equal to or above the yellow threshold but below the green threshold.
  • A red icon displays if the value is below the yellow threshold.

For Total Drops in Last X days:

  • A green icon displays if the value is equal to or below the green threshold.
  • A yellow icon displays if the value is above the green threshold but below the yellow threshold.
  • A red icon displays if the value is equal to or above the yellow threshold.

Registrations

Use the Last X Days field to define the number of days to include in the Portal Enrollments last X days, Online Registrations, and Class Registrations to be Processed Key Metrics.

Use the Display Registration Type, Display Registration Status, and Display Registration Source checkboxes to choose what registration types, statuses, and sources should be included in the Portal Enrollments last X days, Online Registrations, and Class Registrations to be Processed Key Metrics.

Widget Wisdom - Understand and Interact
