Your Watchlist
On the Blink IQ Home screen, you will see your Watchlist. This is where your personal list of KPIs live, so you can easily access them at a glance when you open Blink IQ.
How to add KPIs to your Watchlist
There are a few different options for adding KPIs to your Watchlist.
1. Add KPIs from the Home screen
On the Home screen, click ‘Add KPI to watchlist’, and browse through all the pre-set KPIs available.
Use the Dashboard selector on the left to scroll through each dashboard, then select the KPIs you want to track, and click ‘Add KPIs’.
These KPIs will now be saved to your Watchlist.
2. Add KPIs from Dashboards
As you are navigating Dashboards, you might find a metric you want to save as a KPI.
Click the three-dots menu on the top right hand corner of a metric, and then select ‘Add to Watchlist’
The KPI will now be saved to your Watchlist – you can see it from the Home screen.
3. Add your own KPIs from the Explore function
You can create your own metrics using the Explore function. See this article for how to do so.
Set up alerts for your KPIs
Once you have added KPIs to your Watchlist, you can set up email alerts to receive regular updates about your metrics.
Go to your Watchlist on the Home screen
To set up an alert, click the Bell icon in the top right hand corner of your KPI
You have a few different options to choose from – for example, you might want to set up an alert when a KPI crosses a set limit, or just receive regular KPI updates (for example, once a week). Choose an option, and then click Next.
Customise the name and frequency of the KPI alert, add context that you’d like to receive in the email, and then choose the recipients for the alert. By default, the alert will be sent to you, but you can also add other members of your team.
To finish, click ‘Create alert’. You will now receive KPI updates to the email address that is linked to your Blink account.
Modify your KPIs
You might want to change your KPIs over time, or modify your alerts.
Go to your Watchlist on the Home screen
Click the three dots icon in the top right hand corner of your KPI
Choose manage alerts to change the alerts you are receiving for the KPI, or Remove from watchlist if you no longer want to view this KPI.
