7 Steps to Using your Dashboard

Managing your business through a dashboard may be a whole new way of running your business, or it might be a complement to what you are already doing — only faster.

Here is a suggested path to take each month after you are set up (or see setup instructions steps below):

1. Big Picture – Are there any urgent issues that need your immediate attention?
2. Is your revenue outpacing your expenses? If not, even selling more won’t save you in this scenario. You’ll need to fix any problems here fast. Make sure that your forecast doesn’t project a line showing your revenue and expense lines crossing.
3. See your forecasts in key areas – In key areas, watch to see your best and worst case projections for the coming year.
4. Which product or division is most or least profitable?
5. Check your cash balance trend. See if it looks like one product is pumping in the profits while another is dragging the company down.
6. Compare – See how you are doing compared to everyone else? compare to your industry if available, or use “General Business” if your industry is not shown. Corelytics is always working to establish new industry benchmarks.
7. Now it’s time for your Action Plan. Take on 3 priorities each month and aim to fix them. Run what-if scenarios to show you possible outcomes. Use Corelytics’ easy-to-read graphs to share with your staff or secure loans for investments. Lenders will love you’re your Corelytics charts and forecasts!

*Once you have set up and accepted the default automaps, you can return to your account and adjust your data map. To adjust your data map, click Configuration –> Data Map

To map, click on the Source Data Account, then Standard Data Accounts. You can select “Fixed” or “Dynamic” allocation for any account. Learn more about Fixed and Dynamic allocation.

Tip! After you’ve done your data mapping and have saved the allocations and click Commit Datamap” you will need to log out and log in to “refresh” your mapping data. Then you will get confirmation that the datamap is 100% complete.

Tip! You only really need to map “Revenue and COGS (cost of goods sold) to LOBs (lines of business). You should use Dynamic allocation to allocate Expenses which automatically distributes expenses among the LOBs proportionately.
