Opportunity widgets give users deeper insights and more control over their sales data. With Attribution and UTM parameters, you can filter and analyze opportunities based on the first or last attribution, providing a clearer picture of which channels and campaigns drive your sales efforts.
Benefits: These features allow you to create detailed widgets using various UTM properties like UTM Campaign, UTM Source, and more, enabling you to generate customized reports and visualizations.
Navigation: Enter Edit mode on your dashboard, add a widget under the Opportunity category, switch to the condition tab, and configure your attribution parameters.
Note: UTM parameters and fields are visible only in Table and Granular insights views when an attribution type is added in widget conditions.
Incorporate titles or headers into your dashboard to establish organized sections and group widgets according to themes or categories.
Deliver crucial information or to-do lists to your team members directly on the dashboard. Textboxes can contain guidelines on interpreting widget data or reminders for essential tasks, facilitating efficient communication and organization. You can also add hyperlinks directly within text box elements on your dashboard, making it easier to provide quick access to key resources or external pages.
Boost the visual appeal of your dashboard by embedding images. Whether it’s logos, charts, or infographics, images provide additional context and make your dashboard more engaging visually.
