Features in the Business Radar software

The program works differently for the three main categories of users:

• Superusers for the Business Radar subscription - One or a few people who adds and removes users and team rooms and manages the Business Radar subscription.
• Team room Administrators - One or a few team members who add new users and radars to the team room and who designs the radars so that they are as easy and straight-forward to use as possible for regular users in the team. A user who adds a new team room is automatically assigned administrator priveleges in that room and can subsequently add further users and decide which roles they should have in the team room.
• Users - Team members who use the radars that the administrator has created in the team room

Here is a list of the most common functions for a regular user:

• Create echoes and update echo information on the team radars
• Place and categorize echoes on the radar (span, sector, colour, symbol and size)
• Filter the radar to only show echoes that meet certain criteria for their sector, span, symbol,colour or size. It is also possible to search for and filter on free text.
• Participate in votings and view voting results
• Print or create powerpoint presentations of the radar image
• Create new team rooms (the user automatically becomes administrator for those new team rooms)

The administrator prepares for regular users by:

• Create radar(s) from scratch or based on sample radars
• Create a unique design for your radar, with categories and information that fits your use
• Give your radar a visually attractive appearance through colour choices, fonts and logo
• Adapt terminology within Business Radar to one that is used in your organization and is suitable for the specific usage of each radar
• Hide fields that are not used in the radar
• Create votings, e.g. about what is most important to include on the team radar
• Manage your team's users

When the team has updated echo information the administrator can maintain the radar by:

• Publish a read-only-version of the radar for people who don't use Business Radar
• Export echo information to Excel and/or import echo information from other sources via Excel
• Manage votings, show voting results and export to Excel
• Take backups and restore radars from backup (this feature is in addition to normal system backups and enables handling of radar files outside of the Business Radar program)

The Superuser manages the Business Radar subscription:

• Adds and removes users and team rooms and updates information concerning the Business Radar subscription. NB! The Superuser does not automatically have authority to go into specific team rooms, but has overall possibility to assign authorities to users to all team rooms.
• Upgrades the license to increase number of users as needed
