Dashboards is available with responsive design meaning that the user-interface displays appropriately no matter the type of device used and screen resolution applied.

When to Use Dashboards

Dashboards product is used to extrapolate your data in Planful for meaningful interpretation. Once your data is loaded to Planful, and the appropriate data security is applied, users can build dashboards using charts, tables, and filters to interpret data for forecasting and budgeting purposes.
