Dashboard Widgets - Net-Chef
There are several optional reports or "widgets" that can be added to the Dashboard and/or the topical "Overview" pages in Net-Chef. If viewed from the Dashboard, these widgets will respect the "Weekly Snapshot" view (i.e. they will be displayed by Current or Last Week, and for Single or Consolidated locations) unless otherwise noted. If viewed from one of the topical “Overview” pages, they will only be displayed for the current week in the current location.
Default View
These widgets will be included in the default view of the Net-Chef Dashboard; they can be re-sized or removed (by users with Edit permission) if desired.
Displays a list of key performance indicators (KPIs) that will be calculated and displayed for each day of the current week, as well as for the week-to-date and the period-to-date. Users can choose to view these metrics for the current week (default) or for the previous week. Authorized users will see and can click the "Select Performance Metrics" link to open a pop-up that will allow them to determine which of the "selectable" KPIs to display. Only those made available to the user (store-level or consolidated) will be displayed and users cannot deselect metrics that are required by corporate. The order in which these metrics appear in the pop-up and on the Dashboard is determined by their assigned sequence in the Dashboard Setup screen in Enterprise Manager. A metric will appear shaded yellow if it falls outside the alert ranges defined in the setup screen.
Displays a list in card format of all operational tasks that need to be performed on the current date. This will include tasks defined on task-based Staffing Level Templates. For authorized users the task name will be a hyperlink, which when clicked will open the appropriate screen to allow the user to complete the task. The number of Overdue tasks will appear in red; the number of Incomplete tasks will appear in orange. Users will also be able to cancel certain tasks. Authorized users have access to the "Task Audit Report", which will display a list of completed/canceled tasks.
Displays a bar graph containing the 10 products with the greatest variance (negative or positive) between "Actual Cost" and "Theoretical Cost" for the last posted period. It will also display the Variance %. Values with a green Up Arrow p denote a positive variance; values with a red Down Arrow q denote a negative variance. The list of products displayed can be filtered by User Defined Category. Users also have direct access to the Actual/Theoretical Cost report for that period, via Date Range hyperlink; "Consolidated Dashboard" users will link to the Consolidated Actual/Theoretical Cost report.
Displays a bar graph containing the 10 products sold through Menu Mix sales with the greatest Gross Profit. The chart will show the 'Sales' 'Cost', 'Gross Profit, and '# of Transactions' for each product listed, from the first day of the current week up through the current date. The list of products displayed can be filtered by User Defined Category. Users also have direct access to the Menu Mix report for the period, via Date Range hyperlink; "Consolidated Dashboard" users will link to the Consolidated Menu Mix report.

These widgets display data from the TalentLink platform. The local view displays information for each Employee and includes the number of Courses and Learning Programs along with the % Complete for both, their Start Date and Last Completion Date. Users can Search by Employee, and filter by Courses and/or Learning Programs. The Consolidated view displays information for each Location and includes the number of Learners, and the number of Courses and Learning Programs along with the % Complete for both. Users can filter by Location, Courses and/or Learning Programs.
Users can choose to display quick-access menu links for any of the menu options to which they have access based on their User Group permissions. When editing the Dashboard layout, this widget has a "Change Parameters" icon that opens a pop-up window where you can enter a Widget Name, enable the Drag & Drop feature to rearrange the links, and/or choose to Show Sequence #s for the links. Since the Quick Links widget can be added to the Dashboard multiple times, this lets you give each one its own title. Individual Quick Links can also be renamed, sequenced, and have images uploaded and associated with them. For more details on this, click
HERE. There is also a section for adding Custom Links to any web site (see URL Widget below) and then display them in the widget; the links will open those sites on a new tab in the browser.
