Technically Speaking – Dashboard Widgets
What’s a widget you ask?? If you would have asked me this question when I was a child, I would have told you that Widget was the name of my family pet cat. But today, the term widget means something else to me in regards to software. A widget is a small application within a webpage that provides useful information. You may be familiar with widgets that you use on your iPhone or Smartphone.
Well in TapRooT® VI, widgets exist to provide valuable trending data on your incidents, investigations, audits, root causes and corrective actions. Currently, if you were to visit the DASHBOARD menu, you would find just 4 basic widgets. But I am excited to announce that in our near future release we have COMPLETELY enhanced this dashboard with a variety of widgets and custom options to help meaningfully display your data.
Want to know which Basic Cause Categories, Near Root Causes or Root Causes are your biggest offenders? Want to know which locations or classifications have the most issues? Want to know how many complete, incomplete or past due Corrective Action tasks you have? These dashboard widgets will let you know. There are almost 25 widgets that can be viewed in over 70 combination display types to help you focus on exactly what sort of information you want to see. Take a look.

You can choose from a variety of display chart types including Table Chart, Pie Chart, Horizontal or Vertical Bar Charts, Line Charts AND Pareto Charts.
You can filter by date range, location and classification to really drill down to that level of detail that you may want to understand.
Want to print a copy of your charts? You can export them to PDF and save or print to share with others.
Customize your dashboard to display your most frequently displayed widgets every time you visit the dashboard.
Slice it, dice it, anyway you want to see it. These little widgets pack a lot of big power and information. You can look forward to seeing these new features VERY soon!
Technically Speaking is a weekly series that highlights our TapRooT® VI software and occasionally includes a little Help Desk humor.
Remember, just because it’s technical, doesn’t mean it has to be complicated!
