Based on user feedback, we learned that our clients really appreciated having at-a-glance totals.  \nAs we developed the new dashboard, we focused on bringing key information and business insights to the surface, so that users could quickly see the information they needed, when they needed it.  \nBill4Time has many levels of complexity (in our billing, invoicing, reports features as well as the newer legal practice management features that we’ve added) anda variety of different users with different needs. It was essential that we made the central dashboard as useful and functional as possible for the specific needs of each individual user of the platform.  \nWe’ve made the dashboard the home of new information and most recent information for anyone in the firm, no matter their role.  \nThis real time functionality is increasingly essential for small firms who are so focused on their practice and serving their clients that sometimes these reporting and analytics tasks can fall to the wayside. With this new redesign, we’ve taken a step towards automating the accessibility of this information and performance metrics so that when users add data to the system (like adding a time entry), they can see the outputs in real-time and visualize how it impacts their firm.  \nThis efficiency of the dashboard will be an advantage over some bigger law firms that can take a multiple day turn-around time to accurately produce the same metrics and reports.  \nWhat is a KPI and why might it be important toa solo, small or mid-sized law firm?  \nA KPI is a Key Performance Indicator. KPIs are metrics and benchmarks an attorney can use to measure their performance and overall health of their practice. An example KPI metrics could be as simple as tracking how many new clients you have brought on, or how many hours you have billed on a certain day. In practice, these metrics can assist partners, attorneys, and managers to evaluate their efficiencies, successes, and practice areas prime for improvement on both an individual and firm-wide level.  \nWhat’s the adoption level of tracking KPI metrics for modern firms?  \nOver the past decade, KPI tracking has trickled down from Big Law to mid-sized and smaller law firms. Particularly in the context of the proliferation of cloud computing software throughout the industry, firms are able to automate these reporting functions and gain invaluable business insights from the data. No longer does it take a day or two of time spent sifting through excel spreadsheets to find the metrics that you’re searching for.  \nBill4Time has a history of robust and comprehensive reporting. Many of these metrics already existed on one of myriad reports, available to our users to run, depending on how frequently they wanted to analyze that metric. So what we’ve done on our new dashboard is surfaced and automated that at the top of the platform. Now users can see the most up to date information without having to run a report or shepardize their data in order to make sure that it’s accurate.  \nWho in the firm will be using the KPI dashboard and how will they be used?  \nWho uses the various metrics cards will depend on the persona of the user when interacting with Bill4Time. We see everyone from paralegals, associates, to managing partners and bookkeepers, all types of different roles using the platform.  \nThe beauty of the dashboard in its customizability, is it’s truly built for everyone.  \nWhether you’re tracking your own performance as a solo or your own performance as someone who is part of a larger firm, you’re able to visualize how you are doing, but you can also toggle to different users. If you’re the manager of a practice group, you would be able to see how each of your associates are","cbCaifpJ5g9qWcSC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifpJ5g9qWcSC","pdf",49970,8,"English","# Why the new KPI dashboard was added\n## Legacy dashboard and user feedback\n## Real-time accessibility for small firms\n# What is a KPI and why it matters\n## Example KPI metrics\n# Adoption level of KPI tracking\n## Automation through cloud software\n# Who uses the KPI dashboard\n## Customization for different personas\n# How to set up and customize the dashboard\n## Data entry cards\n## Quick access cards","[{\"question\":\"Why was the new KPI dashboard added to the Bill4Time platform?\",\"answer\":\"It builds on the legacy dashboard by bringing key information and business insights to the surface, based on user feedback that clients value at-a-glance totals and real-time visibility.\"},{\"question\":\"What is a KPI, and how can it be used in a law firm?\",\"answer\":\"A KPI (Key Performance Indicator) is a metric and benchmark attorneys use to measure performance and practice health.
