Review dashboard scores faster with DashboardIQ

Analysts interpret fluctuating scores, track patterns, and identify where action is needed across multiple dashboards on a daily basis. Manually piecing together this high-level view takes time and can delay response when visibility matters most.

If you have any questions about the use of AI within the Panaseer platform, please refer to Panaseer's AI Principles and FAQs or contact your CSM.

While MetricIQ focuses on AI summaries for individual metrics, DashboardIQ looks at the combined performance of your dashboard. The dashboard score represents the weighted percentage of thresholded metrics on the dashboard that are currently passing. DashboardIQ uses this overall score to analyze changes in your dashboard’s performance over time, summarizing trends and highlighting areas that may need attention.

The dashboard score represents the proportion of weighted metrics with thresholds that are currently passing (green or amber status). Refer to Calculating the Dashboard score for more information.

Accessing DashboardIQ

Panaseer's DashboardIQ summaries are available from any dashboard that has a valid score. 

Dashboards that don’t include metrics with thresholds do not support scores and the DashboardIQ button is not displayed. Refer to Why is DashboardIQ not available in my dashboard? for more details.

Accessing DashboardIQ

Click the button to highlight trends, patterns, and notable changes driving the dashboard score. 

DashboardIQ's insights are broken down into two sections, Summary and Actions:

• The Summary provides insights on how the metrics in the dashboard are influencing the overall score, surfacing important trends for analysis. For example:
  
  Three metrics are currently failing: ID.AM-01 physical device inventories at 57% (2.9 points from passing), ID.RA-03 external threat identification at 55% (5.3 points from passing threshold), and DE.AE-02 adverse event analysis at 4.7% (20.3 points from passing).

DashboardIQ summary

• Actions suggests areas of investigation and initiatives you can implement to improve the dashboard score. For example:
  
  Address the ID.AM-01 metric currently at 57%, which needs to reach 60% to pass and contribute 7 percentage points to the overall score.
  Focus on the ID.RA-03 metric for external threat identification, currently at 55% and requiring improvement to 50% threshold to pass. 

DashboardIQ actions

The and buttons let you rate the quality of summaries and actions, but your feedback won’t affect the model’s responses right away. We use your input to help us improve DashboardIQ over time and make future results more relevant and useful.

Why is DashboardIQ not available in my dashboard?

DashboardIQ relies on dashboards including a score to create the summary. To calculate a dashboard score, you must be using compatible metrics. Single metrics with thresholds can be used as they express a value and have no ambiguity.

If you can’t see any dashboard scores, your account permissions might not allow access. Please contact your administrator or CSM for details.

You may see the score as shown in the image below if metrics are evaluated in a way that cannot be used in score calculation.

Unable to calculate Dashboard score

There are a number of reasons why a score might be N/A:

• No metrics with thresholds: The Dashboard score depends entirely on metrics with thresholds as it is a percentage of passing metrics. Without thresholds there can be no assessment of pass or fail. 
• Metrics with missing data: It is rare, but there may be occasions when the data is not available due to an issue with data collection. Although temporary, when this happens there’s no way of knowing if the metric is passing or failing and so the score would not be accurate until the data is restored. For this reason, the score is not calculated. 
• Metrics with breakdowns: Metrics broken down across dimensions represent a challenge in establishing pass/fail due to the data's multiplicity.
