The steep home screen is common for the whole workspace and adapts to each user depending on which teams they are in. The top section of the home screen always shows up for all users in the workspace and is a good place for company-wide key metrics. Each team shows up as individual sections, and you can add team-specific widgets to each section.

Widget properties

Color
Choose between 6 colors, and toggle on/off colored background.
Use colors to group metrics, or highlight an important metric.
Target
First you need to set up targets, then you can add them to a widget. Once defined targets can be toggled on for all types of widgets.
A target line and a target comparison number will show up when toggling on a target in a widget.
If you have several targets set up for one metric, you can choose which one to show in your widget.
To use the Milestone widget the metric you pick must have at least one target.
Everyone can add an existing target to a widget. But only admins can set up targets.
Make sure you have set up targets and that you have a target defined for the metric you have chosen.
Dimensions
First you need to define dimensions for your metric, then you can add a dimension breakdown to a widget.
One type of widget supports dimension breakdowns, the large bar graph with dimension breakdown.
For metrics with more than one dimension you may pick which dimension to show in your widget.
Everyone can add an existing dimension to a widget. But only admins can set up dimensions.
Time grain
For widgets you can choose between any of the available time grains
Daily time grain shows:
- Total for yesterday
- Graph breakdown by day
Other time grain shows:
- Total for current period, from the start of current period til’ today
- Graph breakdown by chosen time grain

Teams on the home screen
Your home screen has a widget section for each team you have joined. This makes the home screen look different for different workspace members depending on what teams they are in.
Each team has a team screen. Team widgets are edited from the teams screen. Any change in the top section of a team screen will be reflected on the home screen team section.
You can make a team private. Private team widgets will only show up to members of the private team.
