Tabs

The Portfolio Management Dashboard consists of 2 tabs, or sections, called "Executive Summary" and "Account Dashboard." You can navigate between these sections using the tabs at the bottom of the dashboard.

  • Executive Summary: this tab provides aggregate metrics across your program designed to provide a holistic summary of your portfolio's performance 
  • Portfolio Activity: Gain deep insights into your portfolio's activity through interactive charts and tables that cover a wide range of account and transaction types
  • Account Dashboard: dive into the data for individual accounts or segments within your portfolio to understand behavior and activities. Compare your accounts’ activity against peer group data aggregated across the entire Green Check ecosystem

Elements

Elements are the building blocks of the Portfolio Management Dashboard - they present data in a variety of ways that help you derive insights about your portfolio. There are two categories of Elements: tables and visualizations.

  • Tables: A table element provides an organized, structured view to help you understand your data. Table elements can be sorted, expanded, and filtered (where applicable).
  • Visualizations: a visualization element is a chart or graph that visually displays key metrics and insights about your portfolio. You can expand the size of any visualization, as well as view the underlying data that populates it.

Interactions

The Portfolio Management Dashboard is an interactive business intelligence tool. As such, there are a variety of ways users can interact with the dashboard's contents

Setting the Date Range and Date Grain

The default date range is the last 12 months, not including the current month. The date range filter at the top of both tabs is synced, so editing the filter on one tab also edits the filter on the other tab. You can edit the date range filter to show the last x days/weeks/months/quarters, as well as setting a custom start and end date. 

Note: The date range filter applies to all elements with the exception of the Accounts in Portfolio section which shows a snapshot of the accounts in your portfolio irrespective of time.

Additionally, you can configure the date grain, or grouping, for all elements. This control allows you to configure the granularity of date grouping that all data is presented and calculated by. For example, if you want to see the average sales by quarter over the last year, you would set the date range filter to the “last year” and the date grain control to “Quarter.”

Filtering Your Portfolio

The Account Dashboard tab has several filters that allow you to segment your portfolio data across a number of different dimensions. You can filter by individual account name(s) or parent orgs, as well as by attributes such as business type, state, plant touching status, and more. 

Filtering Industry Averages

The Account Dashboard tab allows you to compare your portfolio against industry averages calculated across the entire Green Check network. Moreover, you can filter the Green Check industry average data to more granularly compare your filtered accounts or segments. Use the filters in the “Compare Industry Activity” section to pare down the sample being used to calculate industry averages. Additionally, you can choose to include or exclude your own accounts in the industry average calculation using the “Include my accounts in averages” checkbox.

Saving and Viewing Bookmarks

If you find yourself making the same filter choices each time you visit the Portfolio Management Dashboard, you might consider saving these choices as a bookmark. Bookmarks are specific to individual users and allow you to save your applied filters for easy reference in the future. Additionally, you can set a bookmark to be your “default,” which will load the applied filters for you automatically whenever you visit the dashboard.

Interacting with Elements

Use the controls in the top right corner of each element to interact with it. You can interact with elements in the following ways:

  • Expanding Elements: Both table and visualization elements can be expanded in size. With an element selected, simply click your spacebar to expand it. For table elements, you can also click the arrow button to expand. For visualization elements, click the 3 dots and choose “Maximize element” option
  • View Underlying Data: You can view the underlying data for each element by expanding it, or by clicking on the table icon in the top right corner.
  • Exporting Elements: Click the 3 dots and choose “Export” to download a copy of the element, but not the underlying data. To export the underlying data, expand the element and click the “Download Data” button in the bottom right corner. 

Exporting Data

There are several ways you can export data from the Portfolio Management Dashboard. You can export entire tabs, individual elements, and underlying data.

    • Exporting the Entire Dashboard: to export the entire Portfolio Management Dashboard, including all tabs and elements, click on the folder icon in the bottom left corner and choose “export.” The next screen allows you to choose between a direct download or an email export, as well as the format of your export.
    • Exporting Tabs: Click on the arrow next to the tab name and choose “Export.” The next screen allows you to choose between a direct download or an email export, as well as the format of your export.
  • Exporting Elements: as mentioned above, you can export an entire element (e.g. the finished table or visualization) using the 3 dot menu. Simply choose the “Export” option to download a local copy of the element.
  • Export Underlying Data: to export the underlying data of an element, first expand it and then click the “Download Data” button in the bottom right corner.
  • Scheduling Exports: You can also set up an automated export to be sent to the email of your choosing at the frequency you desire. To schedule an export of the entire Portfolio Management Dashboard simply click on the folder icon in the bottom left corner and choose “Schedule export.” Click on the “Add Schedule” button to set up your export schedule(s).
