Use Data Cards to Customize your Dashboard

Monarch Data Cards are a great new way to surface and access the data you need, without disrupting your workflow. Data Cards come in the form of customizable pods inside Matrix Monarch. Monarch Data Cards pull in information from Monarch, your internal data sources, or third party applications to give you immediate and holistic insights.

When you log in you will see your overall revenue numbers, sales goals, and activities for the day. Because the Data Cards are contexual, when you drill into an account or contact you'll see aggregated, detailed information.

Less Time Hunting, More Time Selling
The Monarch Platform was designed to surface data exactly when you need it the most. With these new Data Cards you'll see efficiencies increase in a few ways:

  • Because of the customization aspects, you can build out a dashboard that caters to your unique needs. Focused on forecasting? Only want to see how many alerts you have for the day? You decide what data is displayed.
  • Get a glimpse at accounts that may churn. Add a Data Card focused on churn to get an understanding of accounts to keep an eye on.
  • Glanceable and actionable data. Connected to every Data Card is an action you can take. The Alerts Data Cards takes you to your alerts page and the Forecast Data Card will take you to your expanded Forecast. These Data Cards inspire action and give you the tools to take a deeper dive into the data you need to see.
