Read the Dashboard

Written by Sara Doutt

Who this is for: Anyone who wants a portfolio-level view of contract activity

Time to complete: 5 minutes to read a full dashboard

The dashboard gives you an aggregated, chart-driven view of your contract portfolio. Where the home page is about your work, the dashboard is about the business — volume by stage, counts by type, active owners, and monthly trends.

Steps

1. Open the dashboard

From the sidebar, click Dashboard. You land on the default view, which shows charts for two entity types: Contracts and People.

2. Read the charts

The default view includes a mix of bar and donut charts. Common panels include:

Chart

What it tells you

Contracts by Stage

Where contracts sit in the lifecycle (Active, Expired, Pending, Terminated, and so on)

Contracts by Type & Status

Volume per contract type, broken down by status

Active Contracts by Owner

Which users own the most active contracts

Active Contracts by Type

Volume per type (Services, Sales, Confidentiality, and so on)

Average Days to Execution by Type

How long each contract type takes to move from draft to executed

New Contract Records by Month

Intake trend over time

People donut

Breakdown of your people records (Internal, External, Legal, Confidential, Billing)

Hover over any segment or bar to see the exact count.

3. Locate the filter bar

Above the charts, find the filter bar. It shows how many filters are currently applied and gives you a Clear filters link.

The dashboard defaults to Contracts and People, but it can show charts for any combination of the six entity types in CLX. Use the filter bar at the top of the dashboard to change what you see.

Tips

  • Charts only include records you have permission to see. Two users can see different dashboard numbers on the same tenant.

  • The dashboard is read-only. To drill into a specific chart, use Advanced Search or the Reports area.

  • Your current filter selection is remembered — the next time you visit the dashboard, it loads with the same entity types selected.
