Refresh
Refreshing can be useful if data has changed after you opened the dashboard.
- To refresh a single component: Select Refresh at the top of the component to refresh with the latest data.
- To refresh the entire dashboard: Refresh your browser window; for example, by pressing F5. For optimal response times, refreshing the entire dashboard (rather than a single component) retrieves the latest data as of 15 minutes ago.
Zoom in to view all
Some components can be limited in size, such as a list of customers might show only 20 rows.
- Select Search to display all of the data in a new window.
- For some components you can adjust the general font size (for charts), number of rows, and set the height.
- Want to make the component itself larger or smaller? Select Settings.
While you can't make the font size larger on the dashboard, you can use your browser's Zoom feature to make the font appear larger.

Easily drill down from a component to see details. For example, a performance card shows that net profit is up 20% versus the prior quarter. Drill down to see where that revenue came from and how it compares to numbers from the prior quarter.
| Component type | Drill down steps |
|---|---|
|
Performance card |
Select the primary value., such as the percentage or amount, to drill down to a financial report. Currently, drill down is not available for performance cards that are based on computations.
|

Graph |
Applies only to financial graphs created in the General Ledger.
Having trouble drilling down on a portion of the graph? For line graphs, select a data point on the line. For area graphs, select a data point on the line that represents the top of the area.

Report |
