Databox Widgets

 

Databox allows the set up of databoxes of different types:

Databox Count displays the number of records returned by a search filter

Databox Sum shows the total value of a selected field for records returned by a search filter.

After selecting a databox type, you must configure it:

Name of the databox

Type — select from the list the type of data to be covered

Filter — determine the search filter to use by selecting or adding one

Background determines the background colour for the databox depending on the value displayed. You can set a series of colors that apply to particular value ranges so the status of the displayed data is readily apparent.

The aim of each databox is to provide an overview of a situation at a particular time:

You can click on a databox to view the data it represents (such as individual timesheets or deliverables).

Databoxes are pre-filtered based on the area of the system where they are deployed. Databoxes added to a Projects view are pre-filtered by the current selected project. On My Work they are pre-filtered by the individual and on the insights view by the projects returned by the project filter.
