Ability to color individual metrics blocks background to different colors

Avatar
 Samantha Nordlund

Currently, we can not outline to internal team and external viewers if a particular metric on a Databoard is ready for view/monitor or not. For example, if there are any errors with the metric, if there is a data discrepancy with the metric (that is under investigation by Databox Support team), etc.
We have built a PowerPoint that mirrors the Databox dashboard format and colored those metric boxes red, so we can capture this information in the interim.

Having the ability to color individual metrics blocks background to different colors would help us differentiate which metrics aren't working/ready yet vs. which metrics are good to go.
I would use coloring of individual metrics blocks to help the internal team and external viewers know which metrics can be viewed as ready for consumption (no errors, validated against the source, etc.) vs which metrics are still TBC (still going back and forth with Databox Support about, metrics that are not matching our source # for whatever reason, or metrics that haven't been validated, etc.). I would color the latter metrics red, for example, until they are good to go - and then color them green or white.
If Databox allowed for coloring of individual metrics blocks this would remove our need for the PowerPoint on the side.

I want to create a Databoard that uses the business brand identity colors. I like to match their business HEX primary 1-2 colors in reports & data.

Hi Samantha,

Thanks for sharing your request.

Can you please elaborate further on your use case regarding the following:
- Metrics that aren't working are meant the metrics that are not performing well? Metrics that aren't ready yet are meant Datablocks that are still in the work?
- Metrics that are good to go are the metrics that are performing well / Datablocks for monitoring data are completely built
- Can you possibly share some example metrics as well?

Thank you.

Did you get my response? It's not viewable from my side, so let me know :).

Thank you, Samantha, for sharing this additional information to better understand your request.

We'll soon be rolling out Reports feature, which is similar to Google Deck/MS PowerPoint, where you can add a live Databoard/block on a slide, along with adding notes next or below which would enable you to explain the metric status as you outlined in your explanation. This might serve as a temporary solution for you.
Here is the Roadmap post: roadmap.databox.com/b/product-features/ability-to-create-a-custom-pdf-report.
You can apply for an Early Access Program to test this and share your feedback with our team.
Learn more about the Reports feature here:
help.databox.com/article/557-overview-reports.

And a quick explanation regarding comments:
I've seen your comments, thanks for concerns.
This site works in a way that you are not able to see or edit submitted comments until they get moderated and published. This may sometimes be unpractical. I'll share this feedback with the service provider as well in order to possibly improve this in the future. Thanks.
