The steep home dashboard is common for the whole workspace and adapts to each user depending on which teams they are in. The top section of the home dashboard 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 on the dashboard, and you can add team-specific widgets here.

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 most widget you can choose between daily and monthly time grain
Monthly time grain shows:
- Total for current months, from the 1st til’ today
- Graph breakdown by month
Daily time grain shows:
- Total for yesterday
- Graph breakdown by day
For Milestone widget only monthly time grain is available.
Steep makes sure your dashboard looks great on all devices, whatever sizes, types of widgets, and order you pick.
Teams on the home dashboard
Your home dashboard has a widget section for each team you have joined. This makes the home dashboard look different for different workspace members depending on what teams they are in.
Each team has a team dashboard. Team widgets are edited from the teams dashboard. Any change in the top section of a team dashboard will be reflected on the home dashboard team section.
You can make a team private. Private team widgets will only show up to members of the private team.
