Subject: Dashboard for HRM should have options to show filters before data is loaded
Summary:    

HRM Dashboard does not make sense if Inactive Employees contribute to certain matrix, such as:

  1. Gender
  2. Salary by Shift
  3. Salary Analysis

We can correct this by allowing the user to select if "Active/Inactive" employees should be loaded. 

This will also improve dashboard performance

I have changed the standard dashboard to use Parameters in the query. This allows the user to set defaults and filter the amount of data coming through to the dashboard.

Use this example to amend your Dashboards so that you only load data you need.

Once you add parameters, you can use the Parameter Filter to restrict data. See figure 1 below. This will speed up your dashboards.

All dashboards have been configured to filter data before loading. 

There are two types of filters:

  1. Query Filter - used to limit the amount of data coming into the Dashboard
  2. Data On Screen Filter - Used to filter data within the Dashboard

Each item is explained in Figure 1 below:

  1. Menu to launch Dashboards
  2. Query Filter - use this to limit the amount of data loading into the Dashboard
  3. In this example, the Company Record is filtered. Choose a single company or multiple companies. You can set defaults when defining the Query Parameters
  4. The second Query filter applied to this dashbard is the "Employee Status"
  5. Dashboard filters are used to filter data on screen, in this example, the company data can be restricted to view dashboard for a specific company
  6. This is the second dashboard filter, the "Employee Status", which can restricted to view dashboard for a specific "Employee Status"
