Commonly-used dashboards
This topic provides recommendations for the fields to group by and pivot on to create some commonly used dashboards in your case life cycle.
With these dashboards, you and your case team will be better equipped to explore and prioritize your review, identify patterns and trends across custodians, and develop better review strategies with real-time insight.
Use the examples described below to generate ideas for dashboards you may want to create in your cases.
Note the following:
- The fields described here may differ in name than what you see in your workspace.
- When adding a widget, you cannot select fields that have not been enabled for pivot on or group by; you must manually enable those fields in order to select them. If those fields are part of a locked application, you must unlock it in order to edit them.
- A widget will not render if the included fields do not contain any data. For example, if you attempt to create an STR-based dashboard without having run STR on key terms, you will see the following:

Special considerations
- Create a default Document List dashboard (lowest order number) with only the item/document list, no additional widgets.
- You can only have one Cluster Visualization widget on a dashboard.
- You can create dashboards on other objects.
- Dashboards can be created in your template, so they carry over to your new workspaces. However, some dashboards, such as those with search term report widgets or cluster visualization, will need to be created in the individual workspace once you’ve created your clusters and/or STRs.
