What is the Dashboard and how do I use it?

Focus: The Focus of this Self Help article is to provide information about the Quote Roller Dashboard. Includes how to configure and understand how to use the dashboard.

Please note: If you are using the Dashboard in a multi-user environment. Draft proposals created by other team members will not be reflected in the overall count on the dashboard. You will see them in the list of the Status,  but not the overall count. For example, if you are the admin and you there are 3 team members, if they have draft proposals, the overall count will not show those.

Step 1: Using the Dashboard.  Using the dashboard is very simple process, first you choose your option for time and select on each section for the types of proposals in your account. We also provide Statistical information for the number of proposals per specific status and a proposal funnel. Also included is a history of your proposals.
