Dashboards Overview
Dashboards turn everything already in your account into boards you can read at a glance: how each pipeline is converting, which candidates are moving, how interviews and assessments are going, and where your credits went. Open Dashboards in the sidebar to get there. If you don't see it, your role doesn't include viewing analytics dashboards; ask a workspace admin (see Team Members & Roles).
There are two kinds of board, and the difference matters:
- Core boards are built in and always current. Hivemind hydrates them live every time you open one, so there is nothing to set up and nothing to keep up to date.
- Saved boards are yours. You start them, name them, arrange the cards, and come back to them.
1. Start with a core board
Six core boards ship with every account, listed under Core dashboards in the left rail (your own boards follow under Your dashboards):
| Board | What it answers |
|---|---|
| Overview | How is hiring going overall right now? |
| Pipelines | Where are candidates converting, and where are they stalling? |
| Candidates | Who is in play, and how did they get there? |
| Interviews | What is scheduled, held, and still waiting on a review? |
| Assessments | How are candidates performing on what you send them? |
| Credits | Where is the balance going? |
Core boards are read-only as they stand. Change anything on one and Hivemind forks your version into a saved board rather than overwriting the built-in, so you can always get back to the original. Use Save a copy to do that deliberately. Refresh re-pulls the numbers without dropping the filters you have set.
2. Filter what you are looking at
Every board with live data has two controls at the top: a searchable pipeline picker (set to All pipelines by default) and a time range.
- Pipeline: type a few letters under Search pipelines… and pick one. Widgets about candidates, interviews and assessments narrow to that pipeline. Widgets about the pipelines themselves (for example, a comparison across pipelines) stay as they are, because narrowing them to one pipeline would tell you nothing.
- Time range: choose a rolling window (Today, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, Last 90 days, Last 12 months) or a calendar one (This week, This month, This quarter, All time). Default range clears the range again. Every live widget re-reads against the window you pick.
The board title follows the range, so a board never claims to show thirty days while displaying ninety.
Some widgets hold fixed values rather than a live query, so the filters cannot re-run them. When none of a board's widgets can be filtered, the controls are disabled and the header reads Fixed data: ask Hive to change the range. A chart that hit the 5,000-record limit shows Partial: most recent 5,000 records underneath; narrow the time range or pick a pipeline for exact figures.
3. Create your own board
Click New dashboard on the Dashboards index. Under Start from, choose:
- Blank: an empty board. Ask Hive what you want to see and it builds the widgets for you.
- One of the core boards: a populated copy of that board, with its current numbers, that you can change into what you actually want. Each tile shows how many widgets the board has.
Give it a Name (picking a core board fills in a name like Pipelines (copy); leave it empty for Untitled dashboard) and click Create dashboard. The board opens ready to edit and is saved as a draft.
Arrange the cards
Cards sit on a twelve-column grid:
- Drag a card to move it, and drag its corner to resize in either direction.
- Cards snap to whole columns and pack together, so a board cannot end up with holes in it.
- KPI cards compress to compact chips, so a row of numbers stays a row of numbers.
- Click a card's title to rename it. Each card can also Refresh data, Export as PNG, Export as CSV, toggle half or full width, or be removed.
Click the board's title to rename it, and Save to keep your changes. Press the fullscreen control to fill the screen with a single board, and Esc to come back.
Drafts, publishing and sharing
The Dashboards index (Your dashboards) lists your boards in two groups, with a summary of the widgets on each:
- Drafts: boards you are still working on, including the ones Hive builds for you. Click Publish to make one live.
- Published: live boards with a public share link. Click Share to copy the link; anyone with it can view the board without signing in. Inside a published board, Copy share link does the same.
A published board's link works for anyone who has it, with no sign-in. Check what a board shows before you share its link outside your company.
4. Ask Hive instead of building by hand
Hive is the chat dock that sits alongside your boards: open it with the Open Hive button in the bottom-right corner, or with Ask Hive on an empty board. Describe the board you want and it builds it; ask for a change while a board is open and the change lands on that board in place, with no overlay to dismiss and no copy to reconcile.
Openers that work well:
- Give me a hiring overview for the last 30 days
- Compare my pipelines by applications and scores
- Who moved stages this week?
Hive knows which board you are looking at, so follow-ups can be short: now split that by pipeline, make it the last quarter instead.
A request that is not about the board you have open forks a new draft instead of overwriting your work. If a board you expected to change did not, look for a new draft on the Dashboards index.
