Diving Into NetSuite Dashboards

Diving Into NetSuite Dashboards

Greetings from your NetSuite dashboard ??

When you log in, NetSuite greets you with a dashboard that provides a real-time view of your business. It shows critical financial and operational data appropriate to your role at a glance and all in one place. That’s the beauty of dashboards.

Here’s how to optimize yours.

Track those KPIs ??

KPIs track crucial performance metrics over time. NetSuite calculates 75 pre-defined KPIs, and you can create more as you need them. You can easily add KPIs to any dashboard to improve decision-making and increase business insights.

How to add a KPI:

  • From the KPI portlet, click “Setup” and then add the KPIs you wish to track.
  • Hint: You can display KPIs in any column you choose, but displaying them in the widest column of your homepage gives you the best view of your data.

You can add custom KPIs by using the Saved Search feature .

Make it custom ??

Custom KPI scorecards let you create virtually unlimited and customized date range values, plus they provide more in-depth trend analysis than standard KPI scorecards.

  • Once your admin enables this feature, select the “Analytics” tab under “Enable Features,” and check the KPI scorecards box.
  • If you’re the admin, you can create custom centers and add them to roles to make your centers relevant to your company. (Note: You can customize only if the SuiteCloud>Custom Records feature is enabled.)

? Personalize it ?

Role-based dashboards boost productivity by displaying insights in the form of KPIs, reminders, tasks and visual report snapshots. Flexible drag-and-drop customization options further personalize the experience for each employee.

  • Customize dashboards using portlets, which are collections of real-time data.
  • Simply click “Personalize” to open a list of portlets you can add (such as report snapshots and trend graphs) that are specific to your role.

Adding more to NetSuite?

NetSuite is designed to be a one-stop shop for all the applications a business needs to operate. Many companies may start with ERP to manage financials and soon realize the benefits of managing other parts of their business such as HR, planning and budgeting and customer service activities with NetSuite.?

Three modules every business needs:

NetSuite Planning and Budgeting

Many organizations are forced to rely on stale, inaccurate data imported with spreadsheets to inform planning and budgeting cycles. Enter NetSuite Planning and Budgeting.

NetSuite Planning and Budgeting automates labor-intensive processes so finance teams can easily produce budgets and forecasts, model what-if scenarios and generate reports. With all the time saved ditching manual consolidation, troubleshooting, reporting and data loading, your finance staff can make a greater impact on the company’s financial position as they swap data entry tasks for strategic analysis.
