Building Custom Rankings and Reputation Dashboards

How you can start to build your own Dashboards with Rankings and Reputation Data.

Updated over a week ago

Use cases for Rankings and Reputation Dashboards

Dashboards can be tailored to focus on specific needs, giving you control over the data that matters most to you, such as looking at Peers, Regions, Subjects, Benchmark Periods etc.

Examples of Dashboard use cases:

  • A dashboard for a Department head displaying data for specific Subjects

  • A dashboard showing the gaps compared to a specific group of competitor Benchmark Peers

  • A dashboard analysing the evolution of rankings performance of a specific Region over a Benchmark Period


How to Build a dashboard

You can build a dashboard from the ground up by clicking [+ New Dashboard].

You’ll be prompted to:

  • Name your Dashboard

  • Optionally publish or share it with members of your workspace


Dashboard Settings

Once created, Dashboards can be further managed using the Edit icon. From there, you can:

  • Rename the Dashboard

  • Move it to another Workspace

  • Unpublish or delete it


Sharing Dashboards

Dashboards can be shared with other users at any stage of creation. Once you click on the 'Share' button, input the emails (you can multiple at a time) of the users you would like to share the Dashboard with.

Once inputted, you can selected whether the user(s) will have Viewer or Editor rights on the shared dashboard.

It is important to note - Dashboard share recipients must already have a HolonIQ account in order to view a Shared Dashboard in their Dashboard library.



Dashboard Structure

Columns

Dashboards are organised into columns. Each column can have a title and contains one or more widgets.


Widgets

Widgets are modular, interactive elements that display specific data insights and are the building blocks of Reports and Dashboards.

Widgets can take various forms—such as charts, tables, maps, or key metrics.

Please note that some widgets update automatically when new data becomes available, such as development widgets or report widgets, so you always see the most current information. Others capture the data as it was when you added them to your dashboard and do not update automatically. For example, ranking and rating widgets are static—if you add a timeseries chart showing data up to 2025, it will remain unchanged when the 2026 data is released.


Working with Widgets

You can add widgets to any Dashboard by clicking the Up arrow in the top right corner of widgets throughout the Datasets. Simply select the widget and choose the dashboard you’d like it added to.

Select a widget title and the specific dashboard you want this widget to be added to.

You can add widgets from multiple datasets in the same dashboard

Note: Widgets from the Institutional Performance Datasets (Rankings and Reputation) cannot be edited at the moment. To select another Peer, Benchmark Period, Subject etc., you will need to navigate to the Dataset and add a new widget from there.
