The Dashboard is the central hub of the QuarterOne app. It provides users with a simple overview of their sales Pipeline, the associated Forecast and sales Velocity Metrics.

The Pipeline includes both Won and Open deals in a business' sales funnel. The Pipeline figures are at full value - e.g. unweighted. Deals that have been spread over multiple months are automatically reflected on the same basis in the dashboard Pipeline chart.

The Forecast incorporates the weighted Pipeline with a new business Prediction.

The Open deals in the Pipeline are weighted, using the Forecast Weighting applied to individual deals in the Pipeline module. 

The Prediction is calculated using the latest sales Velocity Metrics for the previous 90 days. The calculation is updated automatically on every sync. The metrics applied can also be overriden to correct for any anomalies.

The five key measures of sales velocity are:
