We're focusing on new things
No need to worry; you'll still have access to this feature, but unfortunately, we can no longer support the Happening Now widget after 1st of July 2023. The good news, though, we're replacing it with new and improved features that will be even better. This feature is being replaced by Agent Status. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us at support@tymeshift.com.
The key purpose of Customizable Dashboards is to give you a quick visual overview of how your team or organization is performing at the moment. Dashboards can be used in different ways by different users, focusing on different metrics and performance indicators in different support organizations. You can build multiple Dashboards by customizing widgets and metrics you would like to track. Moreover, information is updated in real-time!

The Dashboard Widgets are your building blocks used to arrange your Dashboard with the metrics you would like to track. Widgets are broken up into two main types - Metrics and Users and you can have up to 12 widgets on your dashboard. Let's dive in!
For the metrics Widget, you must first select which metric you want to display in the Widget, and then select which Workstream you would like to view this metric for.
There are 4 different options of layouts or visualizations you can select from for the metrics Widgets:
- Value: this layout will simply show the value of the selected metric based on the latest data available.
- Goal (compact): this layout will show the value of the metric selected as well as a small bar graph indicator color-coded to show whether the metric inside or outside the acceptable ranges.
- Goal (donut): this layout works the same as the Goal (compact) layout only it's slightly larger and displays a half donut indicator instead of a simple bar.
- Chart: this layout will show you the trend values of the metric selected over time along with the current latest value.
Note: when selecting either of the Goal layouts, you will need to enter the goal values, which will appear below the layout, in order to be able to save the widget.
With the users Widget, you will be able to add different type of metric that displays the users in a selected team rather than the metric value of a selected workstream. At this time we offer Happening Now view, which is a widget that will show you what your team is engaged with at the current time.
There are 2 different options of layouts or visualizations you can select from for the users Widgets:
- Compact layout: will show you how many agents are currently working and how many are out of adherence.
- Expanded layout: will show you the same information as the compact layout, but also a list of agents that are currently working (clocked-in), what they're currently doing, and whether or not they are in or out of adherence.
