Dashboard

The instructions in this article relate to Dashboard. The icon may be located on your StrataMax or GLMax Desktop or found using the StrataMax or GLMax Search.

The Dashboard uses key data sources and offers a quick view of important information for a single building or the whole portfolio, with the functionality to drill down to view source data.

A company view is also available to provide an overview of portfolios, won and lost buildings/lots and a breakdown of income.

StrataMax Data Dashboard Overview

The Dashboard is able to be setup based on key data sources and other variables such as number of days to ensure it provides the quick overview required for the efficient management of a portfolio with the functionality to drill down to view source data that will include the coloured background based on the setup.

In order to refresh the Dashboard items, select another building from the Building Selector drop-down menu on the StrataMax desktop, then select the previous building again.

Data Sources | BCMax

Data from the following areas can be configured in StrataMax to display on the desktop or within the Dashboard icon. If a Dashboard icon is greyed out / cannot be accessed this means the user does not have the appropriate security permission allowed; the required security permission is listed below in brackets where applicable.

The title of each report can be modified to best describe the data set and multiple versions of reports can be added. For example, a chart can be added to show how many days a payment has remained in the Bank Reconciliation not yet presented; this can be configured to include the entire portfolio, and for a single building.

Displays Types

There are four Display Type options for StrataMax Reports; Traffic Light, Single Number, Radial Gauge, and Radial Gauge Low High.

Traffic Light

The Traffic Light display allows a Lower Limit Value and an Upper Limit Value to be entered:

The red warning light displays if the set number of items or days for the lower limit is exceeded.
The yellow attention light displays if the set number of items or days is between the lower and upper limits.
The green light displays if the upper limit is adhered to.

If multiple buildings are set up for the Dashboard item, the display will be based on the building with the lowest limit, and the icon can be clicked to view the source data, which will also be coloured based on the limit's setup.

Single Number

The Single Number display allows a lower and upper limit value to be entered. The number will be coloured based on the limits:

The red warning number displays if the set number of items or days for the lower limit is exceeded.
The yellow attention number displays if the set number of items or days is between the lower and upper limits.
The green number displays if the upper limit is adhered to.

The display will be based on the building with the building with the lowest limit, and the icon can be clicked to view the source data, which will also be coloured based on the limits setup.

Radial Gauge

The Radical Gauge display allows a Lower Limit Value and an Upper Limit Value to be entered. The needle will point on the gauge based on the number of items or days of the source data and the range of days entered as the limits. The gauge will also display a number which will be based on the lowest limit building and the icon can be clicked on to view the source data that will also be coloured based on the limits setup.

Radial Gauge Low High

The Radial Gauge Low High display allows a Minimum Value, Lower Limit Value, Upper Limit Value, and a Maximum Value to be entered. The needle will point to the red portion of the gauge if the set number of items or days for the minimum limit is exceeded or is below the Lower Limit. The needle will point to the yellow portion of the gauge if the set number of items or days is between the lower and upper limits and a green if the upper limit is adhered to. If multiple buildings are setup for the Dashboard item, the display will be based on the lowest limit building and the icon can be clicked on to view the source data that will also be coloured based on the limits setup.

Setting Up BCMax Dashboard Items

This section provides all the required steps to set up a Dashboard Item.

When adding Dashboard Items to an existing Desktop Group, click the Desktop Group's Pencil button in the top right instead and go to step 4 below. If you are setting up a new Dashboard group, you must open the Dashboard menu by clicking its icon on the StrataMax or GLMax desktop or using the Search field in the top left of the BCMax or GLMax desktop.
When opened, any existing Dashboard Items will be displayed.
Click the Pencil icon to open the setup.
Click the User / Groups drop-down to select which user or user group the Dashboard Item will be available for.
- Depending on which user or group is selected, the list of existing Dashboard Items will change.
Click the Add Dashboard Item button.
The Dashboard Item's configuration window will appear. Click the Report drop-down menu to select the source data.
Click in the Display Title field and change the title if required.
Select from Filtered Buildings to display 'All Active Buildings', 'My Buildings (Account Manager)' or 'Current Building' or 'Management Office'.
- 'My Buildings (Account Manager)' relies on the user name in Security Setup matching the user name entered in Account Manager Edit for the Account Manager.
- Additional Filters may appear when particular data sources are used. Management Fee Expiry will allow a single Invoice Code number to be entered in 'Filter Invoice Code', if no Invoice Code is entered the results will be based on all Invoice Codes. Contract Register Expiry will allow a single Contract Category to be entered, if no Contract Category is entered the results will be based on all Contract Register categories.
The Management Office Filter Buildings field is used when the Filter Buildings drop-down is set to 'Management Office'. This field observes the Management Office field in the Building Information, so check there for the possible values, then type in the required Management Office.
Select the Display Type drop-down menu.
Tick to Show on Desktop if required and set any other relevant configuration options; if not ticked to display on the Desktop the icon will only display when the Dashboard icon is clicked on.
Enter the required values (Minimum, Lower, etc.).
Check that the Preview looks the way required.
Click the Save button, and the Dashboard Item will be added to the list for that user or group.
Further Dashboard Items can be added, or close the Dashboard, and if the Show on Desktop checkbox was ticked, the Dashboard Item will automatically appear either:
- A new Desktop Group called 'Dashboard for *user or group name*'
  or
- In an existing Desktop Group for the user name or group selected in step 4 above.

Drill Down

All Dashboard Items can be clicked to reveal their source data. Any data that is within the limits will be highlighted with a colour based on the setup. Results can be exported to Excel by clicking on the Excel icon in the top right.

Troubleshooting

Days Until Struck Levy Due will identify levies if they were not generated or not marked as generated as part of the new building setup process. These levies should be investigated to determine if they should have been generated and if not the levy should be marked as generated using the Set Levy Notice Date process if appropriate.

Work Orders - Unfinalised will identify work orders if they have not been finalised based on the 'Finish' date in the dates section of the work order. If the finish date is left blank the work order will never display on the dashboard results.

GLMax Data Dashboard Overview

The Dashboard in GLMax has been designed to display data from various sources in charts. The Dashboard in GLMax will also include Dashboard Items from StrataMax if they have been set up for the user. Open the Dashboard from within GLMax by clicking the Dashboard icon or by searching for it using the Search field in the top left of the GLMax desktop.

Because GLMax data is displayed in charts, Dashboard Items for GLMax data cannot be displayed on the GLMax Desktop.

GLMax income data used for Total Income Per Account Manager and Total Income Per Invoice Code includes both active and inactive buildings for the current financial year of GLMax.

GLMax Data Sources

Data for the following data can be configured to display within the Dashboard in GLMax.

Total Income Per Account Manager (Active Buildings and GLMax Current year only)
Active Lots - Won / Lost
Total Income Per Invoice Code (Active Buildings and GLMax Current year only).
Data Health - To facilitate review and configuration of building data file retention including Building files, Documents, Documents (Lost), Emails, and Logs.
