Rapid Dashboards

As you may recall from a pervious post, the industry trend is Dashboards over Reports.

I recently logged this Enhancement Request with Ivanti. Please be sure to vote HERE!

Rapid Reports was a great enhancements to allow end users to quickly create list and form reports based on Saved Searches.

Another need that many customers have is “Rapid Like Dashboards”, more specifically, end users (Executive/Managers/Analysts) require on-demand dashboards to quickly produce a chart, graphic, pivot table, etc.

This functionality would be a huge quick win leveraging existing dashboard functionality.

The design would be a “Rapid Dashboard” button on list views, similar to rapid reports, with a popup of dashboard templates, for example:
Chart by Month
Chart by Owner Team
Top 10 Chart

where the underlying “Templates” are configured similar to dashboard parts.

ie. Chart by Month > Group by CreatedDateTime, by month etc.

The Rapid Dashboard Template would be configured similar to a dashboard part except “Saved Search” would not be available and based on the currently active Saved Search.

Here is a mock-up. Please be sure to vote!!
