Dashboards & Widgets.

PhaseWare dashboards provide the information they need, in real-time, with attractive visual reports available for every aspect of incident management. Any part of the daily tasks that need to be completed by CSR’s can be a part of these interactive dashboards. Widgets are the building blocks of dashboards.
