As work has continued on the new dashboard metrics, a few things surfaced that have launching the feature a bit. I think they’ll be worth the wait though!
First off, I received some feedback that it would be more helpful to make the chart week-based rather than monthly. Seeing that most churches are generally on a weekly schedule, this made perfect sense to me, so the chart now reflects this, giving you a more fine grained trend of weekly performance.
Also, to make it even easier to see how things are going at a glance, there is now a quick summary row under the chart that shows the attendance and contributions for the current week, last week and four weeks ago in nice big text.
Finally, since the dashboard is becoming such a central hub for all this information, there are going to be new buttons to quickly add new contributions and attendance numbers right on the dashboard which will dynamically update the metrics. That way you won’t have to go to the events calendar and contributions sections to enter information then return to the dashboard to see how they affected the overall trends.
So, good progress is being made, and I hope you’ll agree that it’s be worth the wait! Stay tuned.
p.s. - pay no attention to the numbers in this graphic… they’re purely the result of adding random numbers during development and testing :)
