FAQ
I do not see certain widgets or dashboards.
Either your administrator has not given you the correct permissions for the widgets or dashboards you are missing, or these widgets are not available for your organisation. If you believe you should have access to the widgets, contact your administrator or supervisor. If you are an administrator on the Manage plan and up, check the permissions as explained above in the "Permissions" section.
The filters do not work.
It might be the case that the chosen filters do not apply to the widget you are looking at. Move your mouse over the filter icon in the top right corner of the widget to check what filters apply to that widget:
I am missing certain columns or information in the widgets.
The widgets oftentimes show a relevant subset of information, and not all your data. For example, the "Open Action Plans" widget only shows action plans with an "Open" status that are linked to a third party. Read more about each widget's specific filters in the article above.
If that has not answered your question yet, or you are missing a column and not specific information, please try scrolling to the right in the widget. If your window is too narrow, you might have to scroll to the right to view all available information in a widget.
