Overview

Your dashboard can be customized to show key performance data at a glance every time you log in. You can select which metrics to display and arrange them for quick access to the information that matters most.

If you are a Sustain Site Manager, you have primary responsibility for dashboard customization—managing the layout, selecting metrics, and aligning the setup with your organization’s goals.

Dashboard options may vary based on your site’s configuration.

Manager View

  1. Log in to your manager account.

  2. Make sure you're in the Manager view—this is the default view when you log in with your manager account.

  3. Click Edit beside Dashboard to start customizing.

Building the Dashboard

  2. Click Add Content to Row.

  3. Select the Content Type.

  4. Fill out the necessary fields for that Content Type.

  5. When you're finished, click Submit Page.

Editing fields will vary based on your selection. For a quick Program performance review, choose Chart content types.

Editing Your Dashboard

Use the Move Row Up and Move Row Down buttons to rearrange rows. To adjust individual content pieces, use the Move Left and Move Right buttons.
