The Local Insight Dashboard allows you to compare multiple indicators from a theme across multiple custom areas. Local Insight comes with a number of default themes curated by our research team. These can be personalised for each group by the account holder.
Navigate to the Dashboard
To navigate to the Dashboard, open the menu at the top left of the screen then click Dashboard.
Select areas
The Areas popup will open automatically when you navigate to the Dashboard. You can also open it by clicking the Areas button.
Check the boxes of the areas you'd like to view data for. You can select a whole category, expand categories to choose individual areas and use the search bar to find areas.
Once you're happy with your selection, click View Custom Areas.
Select indicator theme
Click Data to bring up the data popup.
Click Choose theme.
Choose a theme.
You will see the list of indicators included within that theme.
When you're happy with your selection click View to see the indicators from that theme displayed on the dashboard.
Note
The Dashboard shows indicator performance using three colour-coded bands based on your selected areas, circle icons (●, ◐, ○) for improved accessibility, and colours that adapt based on whether higher or lower values are better for each indicator. Learn more.
Tip
When scrolling across the dashboard, the first column (custom areas) remains fixed, so you can always see which area you’re comparing, even with many indicators displayed. This makes it easier to spot patterns across indicators without losing your place.
