Collections: Your Filing Cabinet for Dashboards

Managing hundreds of dashboards for many different projects or customers can quickly become overwhelming. If you don’t organize your dashboards well, you risk losing precious time finding the right dashboard. Or even worse, you might make mistakes, like sharing the wrong dashboard with the wrong customer. Or pushing the wrong iteration into production.

Organizing your dashboards doesn’t have to be a tedious process! No need to use long, descriptive names for dashboards, or to have a separate organization system in place. With Luzmo’s new Collections feature, keeping a neatly organized view on your dashboards will be child’s play!

Intuitively organize your dashboards with Collections

Luzmo’s Collections let you organize your dashboards and datasets just the way you like them. Create Collections for yourself, for your team, or share them with others. With Collections, collaborating on dashboards and sharing insights with your product users has never been easier.

Why use Collections?

Save yourself the headache of an unorganized clutter of hundreds of dashboards and datasets. Using our new Collections, your analytics team will work more efficiently, and never feel frustrated when they need to make dashboard updates.

Your development and customer success teams will love Collections for many reasons.

• Better organization. With intuitive Collections, you won’t have to explain a difficult tagging system to new colleagues.
• Save time. No more time wasted on plowing through hundreds of dashboards. Find the dataset or dashboard you need in one glance.
• Better user experience. Organize your dashboards in just a few clicks. Select dashboards and datasets you want to add, or simply drag and drop them into your preferred Collections.
• Easy navigation. No more endless scrolling or difficult tag searches. Browse through organized Collections for a smooth experience.
• Data security. You can set access rights for your collections out-of-the-box. Decide who can view, edit or own dashboards and datasets, and stay in control of your data security.

Organizing your dashboards and datasets

How you will use Collections will depend a lot on how your business or SaaS product is structured. We’ve highlighted the most common use cases below, but there are many more.

• Organize by client: when you serve custom dashboards to many different clients.
• Organize by user persona: your platform may be used by multiple user personas with different reporting needs and access rights.
• Organize by department or branch: for example, a retailer with multiple branches may want to organize dashboards by branch.
• Organize by development phase: if you’re creating dashboards to embed in your SaaS product, you can separate test versions and iterations from in-production dashboards.

One dashboard or dataset can belong to multiple Collections, so you can even combine these ways of organization. The sky is the limit!
