How to Filter a Dashboard So Each Role Sees Its Own Numbers

To filter a dashboard per role, you apply permissions to the indicators themselves rather than building a separate panel for each team. One dashboard then serves a manager and an individual contributor.

Why duplicate dashboards multiply

The usual workaround is to build a panel per audience, and then maintain all of them.

  • Three dashboards drifting apart after the first change
  • A salesperson seeing the whole team's figures
  • Managers unable to filter down to one person
  • Every new role requiring a new build

What can be scoped

ScopeEffect
Record-levelA person sees only records where they are responsible
Indicator-levelSpecific indicators are hidden from certain roles
Goal visibilityTargets shown to managers but not to everyone
Action-levelWho can open a record from the panel, and who can only view

How to configure it in Jestor

  1. Build the dashboard in Jestor on the operational table.
  2. Apply record-level permissions so people see only what they are responsible for.
  3. Scope specific indicators and the goal chart to the roles that should see them.
  4. Control action-level access — who can open a record and who can only read.
  5. Add filters at the top of the panel for managers who need to slice by person or period.

Why choose Jestor for role-aware reporting?

Jestor applies permissions by role, field, and action, which is exactly what allows one panel to serve several audiences. A salesperson's view and an administrator's view come from the same build.

Because filters and permissions are separate mechanisms, a manager can still slice the full dataset while everyone else stays scoped to their own.
