What’s a target attainment widget

With target attainment widgets, you can track key performance metrics against targets over time. To simplify the view and allow viewers to see whether people are on the right track at a glance, you may assign different colors to value ranges in table view. Viewers can also toggle between team and individual views.

Building a target attainment widget

Note:
This procedure requires permission to manage revenue analytics.

To build a new target attainment widget:

Select your dashboard, click +New widget, and select Target attainmemnt from the gallery.
In the dashboard header, click to rename your widget and, optionally, + Add description.
Under Metric, select the metric to include in the widget. You can rename it by clicking and then Rename metric.
Check Measure against target to show the attainment value (metric/target percentage value) for each team or period.
To assign display color to value ranges:
1. In the Preview pane, change the display to Table.
2. Color code the metric’s values, and apply green, yellow, and red indications to different ranges.
  Note:
  If Measure against target is selected, the ranges reflect the attainment value, rather than the metric’s value.
Select your Drilldown view: The view that opens up when viewers click to inspect the deals/accounts included in the widget.
You may add any filter (+Add filter) that defines which deals/accounts qualify to be included in the widger. For example, deals in which Sales qualified is true and Deal stage is neither Closed-won nor Closed-lost.
Below your metric, under Select team and period, you’ll notice the team member and date fields are set to be dynamic and respond to whatever is selected in your dashboard. You can change them to fixed values.
Note:
If you select fixed values for the team member and period, the widget would no longer respond to selections made on the dashboard level. The team selection will be applied to the selected metrics’ team member field, and the period selection will be applied to the selected metrics’ date field.
Select breakdown options: Breakdown by period and/or Breakdown by team.
Note:
To break down by both period and individuals, switch to table view.
Play with the Preview options on the right to validate your settings. When you’re happy with the results, click Save.

Best practices

To get the most out of target attainment widgets, we recommend:

Using color coding sensibly

The color coding should make sense for all teams/periods if the dashboard widget is set to work with dynamic teams and periods.

Therefore, use color coding only for metrics that have a standard definition of good across different teams and periods (such as win rate, ASP, attainment) and not metrics like Bookings or Pipeline created that can vary between teams and periods.

Using different ways to compare

To compare two periods’ target attainment, you can:

Place two target attainment widgets side-by-side
Place one target attainment widget at the top of the dashboard and a few KPI widgets, one for each metric included in the performance widget, underneath it.
