Overview

The Modular Dashboard lets you view up-to-the-minute performance metrics on all aspects of your business. Make sure your account is configured to take advantage of the insights the dashboard can provide.

Note: Depending on your account's configuration, you might see one or more of the following:

  • Items and Pricing instead of Pricebook.

  • Customer instead of Homeowner.

  • Procurement instead of Inventory.

The names are different, but everything works the same way. For more, see Commercial Personalization Platform - FAQ.

  • Administrators and managers

Update your browser

The Modular Dashboard supports Google Chrome version 86 and above. Make sure to update your browser to the latest version to access all the dashboard features.

Set up divisions and business units

The Technician Scorecards section of the dashboard uses Business Unit (BU) divisions to analyze technician performance. Each division corresponds to a scorecard. For example, if you have a plumbing maintenance BU, you can map it to the Maintenance scorecard. Metrics from plumbing maintenance work orders are included on the Maintenance scorecard.

Create divisions

A technician scorecard is created for each of your active BU divisions. We recommend creating divisions with the names Install, Maintenance, Service, and Sales.

Note: If a technician sells estimates on a non-sales work order, the sales metrics are included on the Sales tab of the work order type’s division.

For more, see Add a business unit category.

Assign business units to divisions

Assign your BUs to divisions to include them on the dashboard. For example, if you serve multiple trades, you can have separate HVAC install and plumbing install BUs. You can assign them both the Install division you created earlier.

Note: A BU can only be mapped to one division.

For more, see Add and edit business units.

Set up your Items and Pricing

To track revenue from items in Items and Pricing, configure your Items and Pricing to work with the Modular Dashboard.

Add sold hours

Sold hours, also known as billable hours, are the number of labor hours estimated to complete a service or equipment installation as set in your pricebook. ServiceTitan compares sold hours to actual job hours to measure technician efficiency.

Set up general ledger accounts

To properly calculate revenue, set up general ledger (GL) accounts for your ServiceTitan account. Make sure you have the following GL account types: Income, Liability, Asset, Expense, and Equity.

Note: This feature requires account configuration. Please contact for details.

Connect pricebook items with income GL accounts

ServiceTitan uses income items to calculate revenue. Income items are pricebook items assigned to an income general ledger (GL) account.

To assign an income account, edit the pricebook item and enter the income account in the General Ledger Account field.

Note: If you use QuickBooks Desktop, select the account from the Income Account dropdown.

For more, see Edit pricebook items.

Set up replacement opportunities

When installed equipment at a service location reaches the replacement age for that equipment type, it is considered a replacement opportunity. This triggers a replacement tag to appear on the customer record.

To set up your account for replacement opportunities:

  1. Assign equipment types by editing the type field for equipment items in your pricebook.

Add sold hours

Sold hours, also known as billable hours, are the number of labor hours estimated to complete a service or equipment installation as set in your Items and Pricing. ServiceTitan compares sold hours to actual work order hours to measure technician efficiency.

For more, see Add sold hours to items in Items and Pricing.

To set up your account for replacement opportunities:

  1. Create conversion opportunity tags.

  2. Create equipment types.

  3. Assign equipment types by editing the type field for equipment items in your Items and Pricing.

Set up work order types

When you create job types, the sold threshold setting is used to measure sales and job performance. Essentially, it’s the least amount of money where a job of that type is worthwhile to your business.

For example, you create a job type for toilet installations. Based on your overhead and other costs, you set a sold threshold of $300 for toilet installations:

  • When a sales tech sells a toilet install estimate for $300 or more, the sales opportunity considered closed.

  • When a technician completes a toilet install with an invoice subtotal of $300 or more, the job opportunity is considered converted.

Set up call details

Set up call reasons

Call reasons allow CSRs to classify incoming calls. The dashboard uses call reasons to track work order booking rates.

For more, see Set up call reasons.

Add marketing campaigns

Incoming calls are classified by marketing campaign. The dashboard’s Marketing Scorecard shows call and booking metrics for each of your campaigns.

For more, see Adding marketing campaigns in ServiceTitan.

Enable work order completion surveys

The Technician Scorecards include customer satisfaction metrics. To include these, make sure to enable work order completion surveys, which are automatically delivered to customers by text or email to customers when a work order is completed.
