FAST Administration Training Advanced Dashboarding for Groups including: Creating Graphs and Grids Managing Dashboard Layout Adding Dashboard Filters And more!

Let’s create a few Charts and Graphs Options include: Report Grid Pie Chart Donut Chart Bar Chart (Vertical) Bar Chart (Horizontal) Scattered Line Chart Stacked Graph Important Initial Step: Give some thought to what you are actually trying to display as a GRAPH. If there is no distinct subset of data that you want to graph, consider saving as a GRID. Not all reports will make great graphs but trial and error will show you the options and how to make them look great before saving! Save 2 graphs and 1 grid – Student and Finance. Show all samples while building.

Adding Graphs to the Dashboard: Just Drag & Drop!
