Our new Dashboard feature is available upon request for the initial launch phase. Please contact your Customer Success Manager if you'd like to schedule implementation with our Services team.
Overview
Resolver’s Dashboard Builder allows Administrators to build custom Dashboards using the Dashboard Data Sets published within their Org.
Charts are connected to Data Sets and can be applied to multiple Dashboards.
Before using the Dashboards feature, at least one Dashboard Data Set needs to be created and published.
The following instructions apply to Bar, Line, Symbol, Funnel, Pie, Min/Max, and Word Cloud Chart Types.
Warning:
All changes or edits made to a Chart are globally applied across all instances of that Chart. Create a duplicate Chart to apply changes or edits that will not affect the original Chart.
User Account Requirements
The user account you use to log into Resolver must have Administrator permission to use the Dashboard Data Set Builder.

Line Chart
- Symbol Chart: Symbol Charts show aggregated values emphasizing the highest and lowest data points.
Symbol Chart
- Funnel Chart: Funnel Charts display data values as progressively decreasing/increasing proportions that add to the total. Each stage of the Funnel Chart is determined by the corresponding value (as a percentage of all values) and is represented in segments. The category order depends on the how the chart is sorted.
Funnel Chart
- Pie Chart: A Pie Chart is a circle divided into slices. The pie represents 100% of the data points selected. Each slice represents a different category.
Pie Chart
- Min/Max Chart: A Min/Max Chart shows a category's Minimum, Maximum, and Average values, showing the range of a measure, like minimum and maximum temperature recorded for each day of the month.
Min/Max Chart
- Word Cloud: A Word Cloud is a visual representation of text data in which the importance or frequency of individual words is represented using the font size. The more important or frequent a word is, the larger it appears.
