What is Dashboard
The AlphaSense Dashboard is a customizable interface that provides you with a monitoring edge by proactively pushing relevant information via views tailored to your workflow needs. This enables you to stay on top of trends for the companies and topics that matter most, save time and generate new ideas to jump-start your research.
How is Your Dashboard Organized?
When you first get started with AlphaSense, your Dashboard will be set up for you based on your selections during the setup/onboarding process.
Portfolio Monitor template
You have a Portfolio Monitor template designed to assist you with setting up your dashboard by preloading widgets for your convenience. The portfolio template comes pre-set with feeds for trending transcript topics, broker research, company docs, news, events, and even expert calls if you have access to that content set.
You can easily add additional widgets and even your own saved searches for keywords or more advanced queries to any dashboard by clicking the Add Widget button in the upper right.
You can easily add companies you care about and watchlists to this dashboard within the Portfolio Monitor widget, and with a single click, filter the content all of your existing widgets to display results for the particular company or watchlist on which you clicked.
You can reorder dashboards and the widgets by clicking and dragging them to your desired location as well as resize any of the widgets for a truly custom view.
Industry Overview Template
This template helps you quickly find news, topics, and industry reports from specific industries and sectors by populating key widgets with a focus on industry information instead of specific companies and watchlists. It should be noted that Industries and sectors will include the top 200 companies by market cap, based on GICS classification.
Blank Dashboard Template
The Blank dashboard template offers the same features as your portfolio monitor template but does not come with any preloaded widgets. This is ideal for thematic searches as they will populate without having the portfolio monitor widget. It should be noted you can add the portfolio monitor widget to a blank dashboard in order to easily apply your searches to various companies/ watchlists/ and industries without having to create searches for all of them.
