Autotask Wallboards: Visibility Drives Accountability

Do you ever walk through your service or sales office and wonder “What’s happening in my business right now?” The staff may look very busy but are they aligned, motivated and accountable?

You don’t need to rent a billboard to get your employees attention.

Wallboards are mounted plasma screens on the wall which display our dashboards of the key metrics that matter to your business. The visibility of the public wallboards motivates employees, elevates problems to the entire team and drives accountability.

When did wallboards become available?

Autotask Wallboards became available in March as part of the 2015.1 Release. Wallboards are accessible with the new user license type of “Dashboard User”. The “Dashboard User” type may have a license charge of $10/month. Premium and Ultimate contracts will include 3 free dashboard users. Please contact your Autotask account manager for more details.

Setting Up Wallboards is as easy as 1 .. 2 .. 3

1. Create a dashboard user

You will notice that there is a new security level for “Dashboard User”.

Resource Setup

When a resource is created with this security level, the logged resource will only have read-only access to dashboards published to them. When the dashboard user is first created, the dashboards will be blank.

2. Share and publish dashboards to the “Dashboard User”

Share an existing dashboard tab with the “Dashboard User” or create a new one to share.
