Take action
This stage contributes to the outcome: Choose the dashboard that answers the operational question instead of treating every metric as the same.
Why this connection matters: A dashboard summarises records; the underlying records remain the source of evidence.
Step-by-step in Forge
Navigation: Insights → Dashboards
- Open Insights: Select Insights in the main navigation and open Dashboards.
- Choose a dashboard: Select Production, Work Order, Station, Operator, Quality, Downtime, or another relevant view.
- Set the scope: Select Plant, Site, Line, Shift, Product, Work Order, status, and date filters as available.
- Inspect the result: Select a metric, chart segment, or row to open the underlying records.
- Refresh or export: Refresh after operational changes or use the available export action for controlled sharing.

Rules to remember
- A dashboard summarises records; the underlying records remain the source of evidence.
- Use consistent time, Plant, Line, Product, and Shift filters when comparing metrics.
- Do not compare metrics with different definitions or time windows.
Ready when
- Each operational meeting uses agreed dashboards.
- Metric definitions are understood.
- Users can move from a dashboard exception to the underlying record.
