Dashboard Filters and Drill-Down
The IPU Dashboard supports filtering, sorting, and drill-down so you can move from a high-level overview to individual invoices quickly. This page explains how to use these features.
Available Filters
The filter bar at the top of the dashboard lets you narrow the data displayed across all sections — quick stats, charts, and lists.
| Filter | Options | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Period | Today, This Week, This Month, This Quarter, This Year, Custom Range | This Month |
| Company | All companies, or select a specific company | All |
| Status | Any combination of processing statuses (Draft, Review Required, Matching In Progress, etc.) | All active statuses |
| Reviewer | All reviewers, or a specific user | All |
| Supplier | Search and select a specific supplier | All |
| MSME Only | Toggle to show only MSME supplier invoices | Off |
| SLA Breached | Toggle to show only invoices where SLA has been breached | Off |
Filters apply immediately. The quick stats, charts, and any visible list views all update to reflect the selected criteria.
Using Custom Date Ranges
When you select "Custom Range" as the period:
- A date picker appears with From and To fields.
- Select your desired date range.
- The dashboard recalculates all metrics, charts, and counters for that range.
This is useful for month-end reviews, quarterly compliance reporting, or investigating a specific period.
Drill-Down: From Counter to Invoice
Every number on the dashboard is clickable. The drill-down path follows a consistent pattern:
Quick Stats Counter → Filtered List → Individual IPU Record
For example:
- Click the MSME Urgent counter (shows 5 invoices).
- The list view opens showing those 5 MSME invoices sorted by payment due date (most urgent first).
- Click any row to open the full IPU record with matching details, MSME tracking, and approval history.
The same pattern applies to all counters: My Queue, No PO, and SLA At Risk.
Drill-Down: From Chart to Data
Charts on the dashboard also support drill-down:
- Click a bar on the processing volume chart to see the invoices from that specific day, week, or month.
- Click a segment on the status distribution chart to filter the list to that status.
Sorting the Invoice List
When viewing a filtered list of invoices (from any drill-down), you can sort by:
| Column | When to Use |
|---|---|
| Received On | Find the newest or oldest invoices |
| MSME Payment Due Date | Prioritize by MSME deadline urgency |
| SLA Due Date | Prioritize by SLA compliance |
| Match Score | Find lowest-scoring invoices that need the most attention |
| Grand Total | Focus on high-value invoices first |
| Status | Group invoices by their processing stage |
Saving Filter Presets
If you use the same filter combination regularly (e.g., "MSME Urgent for my company this month"), you can save it:
- Set your desired filters.
- Click Save as View (if available in your configuration).
- Name the view for easy recall.
Saved views appear as tabs on the dashboard for quick switching between perspectives.
Tips for Effective Dashboard Use
- Start your day with "My Queue" to see what needs your immediate attention.
- Check MSME Urgent weekly even if it's not your primary responsibility — these have regulatory deadlines.
- Use the volume chart to spot processing backlogs before they become critical.
- Drill down from any KPI to understand the underlying data — never rely on the summary number alone.
