A CRM dashboard provides real-time business event snapshots, which are used to measure and develop analytics for business reporting. Sage CRM dashboards facilitate comparative business analysis through the capturing of data and related Web-based elements. Additionally, CRM dashboards use sales and marketing analysis to boost sales and enhance customer satisfaction.

In a standard Sage CRM, dashboards allow you to present multiple reports side-by-side using dashboard components on a single dashboard page layout. Dashboard components come in a variety of chart types, and you can customize how data is grouped, summarized, and displayed for each component. The drag-and-drop dashboard builder is an intuitive interface for building dashboards from source reports or Visualforce pages you’ve created in Sage CRM.
