Workspace Dashboards
Metrics, and the Team Workspace Dashboards you can build with them, are the functional heart of the Allstacks platform. Using metrics we can identify process bottlenecks, encourage positive habit adoption and provide insights into teams' activities within a given Workspace.
Metrics
Allstacks has over 100 default metric views, all of which can be filtered and configured to fulfil fulfill your reporting and investigative needs. Let’s walk through an example using the “Velocity” metric.
You’ll find our default metric views underneath the metric Configure heading on the left-most menu of the platform. From here, click “Metrics.” Then, you can search for “Velocity” or open the metrics listed under “Team Productivity”

Productivity.”
...
Note: Some metrics have multiple default views. See the dropdown in the top-middle of the metric page below:
...
Note: By default, metrics will default to the last 90 days with no work or people selected. The metric will include data related to all tools and employees you have enabled at the team workspace level.
Advanced Filtering
...
Advanced filtering allows users to reduce the returned data of a metric to a relevant subset using most properties of the metric’s base data.
For example, the filters in the example below would take a standard metric, like velocity, and let us answer the question “How can I see all bugs completed by my team?”

Chart Settings

Basic Changes: Chart Types, Data Aggregation Methods, Time and Averages
...
Chart Types:
Changes the visualization of the graph, typically without modifying the existing legends or groupings.
...
Aggregation:
Selects a different mathematical operator to apply to the data set. Common examples include changing from means to medians.
...
Allstacks allows you to display your metrics based on other fields related to the base data of a metric. For example, if you want to look at a metric like “Issue Creations Over Time” by the “Issue Priority” instead of the default “Issue Type” you can select that field in the dropdown for the series.
...
Adding Annotations to Metric Visualizations
Utilize annotations to set benchmarks or goals on metrics, or to mark significant events, such as process change implementation dates.
...
Special Case Filters
These filters are context specific based on the current metric.
...
This setting expands the metric data set to include users that are disabled in Team Contributors Management at the Workspace level. This setting is not available for custom metrics.
...
Saving to a Dashboard:
To save a metric to a Team Workspace Dashboard (more on those later) select the plus icon on the top-right of the page.
...
“Full Metric” saves the entire visualization to your team Workspace dashboard.
“Compact KPI” save a widget card object to your dashboard to indicate a directional trend.
...
Name: You can add a custom name, or use the default view name by leaving the field empty.
Date Range: Here you can choose either a static date range so the metric never changes, or a rolling date range so the metric updates over time.
...
Use the Destination section to save your metric or compact KPI to one or multiple dashboards.

Workspace Dashboards
Team Workspace Dashboards give a place to consolidate and organize your favorite metrics and compact KPIs.
Note: Team Workspace Dashboards are always visible for all users. Editing a dashboard will change the view for every future viewer.
...
The title of the dashboard is also dropdown to access other team dashboards or create new dashboards.
Creating Additional Dashboards
...
Creating a new dashboard will land you in a view similar to the image below.
