What are the Different Types of Dashlets?


Dashlets are the building blocks of your dashboards. They're visual summaries, charts, or key numbers that show past or future events relevant to your goals. You can mix and match different types of Dashlets within the same Dashboard, or you can create a Dashboard focused on one specific type of goal or metric.

There are four types of Dashlets you can choose from to build and customize your Dashboard:

  • ActivitiesTrack your scheduled and completed activities however you prefer: Calendar, Table, or Summary view.  

  • PipelinesGet the full picture of your sales pipeline. See which clients converted, which opportunities you won or lost, how your pipeline value is trending, where deals are in the pipeline, and how your team is performing. 

  • MarketingTrack where your leads are coming from with lead source breakdowns, trends over time, and totals added by each source.

  • EmailsKeep track of your organization's email marketing performance: delivery rates, complaint and opt-out percentages, interaction stats, and total emails sent.
