Flex Data Hub – How to Use the Dashboard Widgets

With Flex Data Hub, you can review your core space metrics and KPIs in pre-built dashboards. Using our many filters, you can drill down on the data, compare it to previous periods, and make informed decisions about your future goals.

Updates to the Data Hub data start at 00:15 UTC and repeat every 2 hours afterward. A sync takes between 5 and 10 minutes to complete. Users can see the updated data after the sync has been completed.

Filters

Each dashboard has a set of specific filters. Use them to narrow down data in the widgets. The filters are available on top of the dashboard. Using them is straightforward. Choose your set of filters and click Refresh ref.png to update the results.

The action buttons on the right of the top bar let you refresh the widgets ref.png , show or hide the filters showhide.png , and access a menu Tile opt.png with options to download data from the entire dashboard and reset the filters:

All applied filters are added to the URL parameters. For example, https://hybrid.officernd.com/ornd-hybrid-office/data?Time+Frame=30+day&Location=London+Office&Floor=Floor+1&Resource+Type=Meeting+room. You can use this to:

  • easily send filtered views to colleagues
  • add links to specifically filtered dashboards for quick reference in presentations or files
  • save and return to frequently used filtered views with a single click

Drill data

Some widgets let you click inside the chart to 'drill' into a particular period for a given topic. For example, here we can drill into the total bookings duration report for Feb 2024 by start date or date of the week:

The drilled information can be presented in an expanded chart or table view. Both can be exported and downloaded in the file formats listed under the Download Data section.
