Let's build a dashboard with Cliq Widgets!

While juggling multiple tasks and tracking real-time data, you face a strict deadline for delivering a quarterly analysis report on a blank canvas while switching between different apps. Sounds exhausting, right? What if you could streamline everything into one interactive space?

With its vibrant tile-based design and internal components like widgets packed with elements like charts, graphs, tables, and custom fields, Cliq can transform your static data into visual dashboards that deliver business value.

Business benefits  

• Rapid decision-making: Visual data representation ( with charts and graphs ) makes it easier to spot trends instantly, track KPIs, and identify areas that require immediate action. With clear insights, decision-makers can respond proactively.
  

• Enhanced collaboration: Interactive widget elements, such as tables, fields, and charts, allow teams to view, update, and share critical information without communication gaps. This ensures data consistency and fosters a more connected and agile workflow, minimizing the need to leave the chat interface. 
  

• Improved efficiency: Constantly switching between apps to gather insights slows productivity. By consolidating key metrics in a centralized location, teams can reduce context-switching and make well-informed decisions faster. 
  

• Proactive problem solving: Addressing potential issues before they escalate is crucial for maintaining business continuity. Automated alerts and notifications triggered via bots and schedulers in Cliq allow teams to respond quickly to emerging concerns.
  

Let's design a Logistics Dashboard tailored for a Fleet Manager overseeing multiple deliveries. This dashboard will provide real-time insights into fleet performance, delivery status, and potential delays, ensuring smooth logistics operations.

                                                                               

• Utilize the image element to enhance your business brand, strengthen your identity and recognition, and create a professional dashboard that stands out.
  

• For real-time visibility, use the cards element with the carousel type to display key logistic metrics such as shipment status, fleet utilization, delivery performance, etc.
  

• Incorporate vertical bar graphs to analyze operational costs, differentiating between storage, transportation and packaging expenses.
  
• These graphs support legend-based filtering. Click on a category in the legend to remove it and focus on specific cost metrics.
  
• Use the navigator to zoom in or expand the X-axis, allowing for precise monitoring within a specific range.
  

• Monitor speed, load, and efficiency trends over time using graphs to identify performance patterns and operational bottlenecks. Hover over data points to see tooltips displaying exact values for each category, providing quick insights.
  

• Use the table element to showcase supplier statistics and a doughnut chart to illustrate orders by delivery status. Add widget buttons to the header for tasks such as filtering dashboards by date range and requesting stocks via Cliq forms.
  

• Use the catalogue form input to present detailed product information and images for a rich and intuitive experience in stock requests.
