Read Your Dashboard

The dashboard is your real-time view of the company's sustainability position. This guide walks through every panel — what it shows, how to filter it, and where to drill in for more detail.

What the dashboard is for

The dashboard's job is to make the most important sustainability metrics for your company, sector, and role visible at a glance. It surfaces what was configured during onboarding (your 15 default cards: 5 key + 10 additional) plus your active targets and an operational overview, all filterable by time period and site.

You can read the dashboard at the organization level or for a specific site, depending on your permissions. Site-scoped users see the sites they have access to; full-access users can switch between any site or view organization-wide totals.

The site selector and time filter

At the top of the dashboard you'll find two scope controls:

• Site / organization view — set via the site picker in the bottom-left of the sidebar (e.g., "GreenSphere_TestCorp" for the org-wide view, or any single site you have access to). Changing this re-scopes every panel on the page to that site.
• Time filter — chips at the top right: This Month, This Quarter, This Year, Custom Range. Presets cover the common reporting horizons (last month, this quarter, last quarter, this year, last year). Custom Range opens a date picker for any window.

Every panel on the dashboard recalculates when you change either control.

Panel 1: My Key Metrics

The first section is My Key Metrics — your 5 most important indicators, displayed as large cards at the top of the dashboard.

Each card shows:

• Indicator name (e.g., GHG Intensity Ratio, Absolute Gross Scope 1 and 2 GHG Emissions).
• Current value and unit (e.g., 30,538,800 tCO₂e).
• Period-over-period delta (e.g., ↓ 0% vs prior period) — comparing the current period to the immediately preceding equivalent period.

These five metrics were recommended during onboarding based on your sector and trigger; you can edit the selection any time by clicking + Add KPI in the top-right of the panel and choosing from the indicator library. The panel header shows your current selection (e.g., Selected 5/5 KPIs).

Panel 2: Active Targets

Below the key metrics, the Active Targets section shows up to three targets visually, with progress against each. Each target card displays:

• Target name (e.g., Absolute gross Scope 1 and 2 GHG Emissions).
• Status badge — On Track, At Risk, or Off Track.
• Progress bar with the percentage achieved.
• Target value, deadline, and any context note (e.g., Target: 200000 tCO₂e · Deadline: 31/12/2026).

You can pick which targets appear on the dashboard from the broader Targets page. The dashboard slot is limited to 3 most-important targets (to keep the dashboard focused); all other targets remain available from the Targets page itself. Click See All Targets in the panel to jump there.

If no targets are pinned to the dashboard, the panel shows a "See All Targets" placeholder card prompting you to create or pin targets.

Panel 3: Additional Metrics

Below targets, Additional Metrics shows the next 10 indicators that round out your view — typically the Scope breakdowns and supporting KPIs that go alongside the key metrics. Examples for an org with full Scope coverage:

• Scope 1 — Mobile Combustion, Scope 1 — Fugitive Emissions, Scope 1 — Process Emissions, Scope 1 — Stationary Combustion
• Scope 2 — Purchased Electricity, Scope 2 — Purchased Steam, Heat, or Cooling
• Scope 3 — Business Travel, Scope 3 — Capital Goods, Scope 3 — Downstream Leased Assets, Scope 3 — Downstream Transportation and Distribution

The panel header shows your current selection (e.g., Selected 10/12 KPIs) and you can change which 10 are pinned via + Add KPI.

These were also recommended during onboarding based on your sector. Like the key metrics, you can change them at any time without affecting the data — only the dashboard layout.

See all indicators

Click See all in the top-right of the Additional Metrics panel to open the Dashboard Indicators page. This shows every indicator with recorded entries for the selected period, with the latest value on each card.

The Dashboard Indicators page applies the same time filter as the dashboard, and the same site scope. It's the place to go when you want to see all your data, not just the 15 cards pinned to the main dashboard. From here, click Manage KPIs to change which indicators are surfaced where on the main dashboard.

Panel 4: Operational Overview

At the bottom, the Operational Overview shows three smaller panels:

• Data Completeness — how complete your data is for the selected period, surfacing missing categories or unfilled indicators. This signal feeds directly into reporting readiness — if you can see gaps here, you'll see them in the reporting readiness tracker too.
• Recent Activity — recent edits, additions, or imports across the workspace. Useful for tracking what's changed since you last looked.
• Alerts — flagged issues: data anomalies, target breaches, validation failures.

When the workspace is freshly configured and no data has been logged, all three panels show "No data to display." They populate as you log data and progress against targets.

This row also implicitly answers "how ready are we to report?" — read alongside the Reports page's reporting readiness tracker, the Operational Overview gives you the operational view of the same question.

Time filter and what it changes

The time filter chip applies globally to every panel that shows a value or trend:

• Key metric values and deltas recalculate to the chosen window.
• Target progress reflects the cumulative position at the end of the window.
• Additional metric values and deltas recalculate.
• Data Completeness and Recent Activity reflect activity within the window.

Changing from This Year to This Quarter or to Custom Range doesn't change the data; it changes the lens.

Site scope and what changes with it

The site picker at the bottom-left of the sidebar applies to the dashboard:

• Organization-wide view — every site rolled up. Best for company-level reporting.
• Single-site view — only data logged against that site. Best for site-level operations and accountability.

Permissions limit which sites you can pick. Admins and full-access users see every site; site-scoped users see only their assigned sites.

What this guide doesn't cover

• Building or customizing dashboard layouts beyond pinning indicators. Custom dashboard builds (different layouts, public sharing, presentation-mode dashboards) aren't shipped yet.
• Drilling into a single indicator. That's the indicator drill-down on the KPIs page — see Map your operational data to GreenSphere indicators.
• Creating targets. See Set and track sustainability targets.

Where to go from here

• Set and track sustainability targets — pin up to three targets to the dashboard for quick visual tracking.
• Log your first data point — once you log data, every dashboard card starts populating.
• How emissions calculations work — the calculation chain behind the values you see on the cards.
