## Dashboards

A dashboard is a collection of widgets arranged to visualize your key metrics:

| Feature             | Description                                        |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Custom Layout       | Drag-and-drop widget arrangement                   |
| Multiple Dashboards | Create dashboards for different teams and purposes |
| Sharing             | Share dashboards across your organization          |
| Auto-Refresh        | Real-time data updates                             |
| Default Dashboard   | System-generated dashboard with key metrics        |

| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |

### Widget Groups

Widget groups organize related widgets:

* Group by hiring flow, stage, or department
* Collapsible sections for organized dashboards
* Shared filters across grouped widgets

***

## Stage Groups

Stage groups enable cross-flow analytics by categorizing stages across multiple hiring flows:

```
Stage Group: "Screening"
├── Hiring Flow A → Stage: "Initial Review"
├── Hiring Flow B → Stage: "Phone Screen"
└── Hiring Flow C → Stage: "Application Review"
```

This allows you to track metrics like:

* Total candidates in "Screening" across all flows
* Average time in "Interview" stages
* Drop-off rates at "Background Check" stages

## Default Dashboard

Firstwork automatically generates a default dashboard with essential metrics:

* **Pipeline Overview** - Candidate count per stage across active hiring flows.

  * **Application Trends** - Weekly/monthly application volume with trend indicators.

  * **Conversion Funnel** - Stage-to-stage conversion rates for each hiring flow.

  * **Active Workforce** - Current contract count by status and entity.
