You can now add initiative timeline widgets to your dashboard, which show a Gantt-style view of your initiatives, tasks, and milestones.

Another new type of dashboard widget in QuickScore and Scoreboard 3.2 is the initiative chart. This is the same type chart that you see on the Initiatives Overview tab, and it shows how an initiative item is progressing towards its budget and schedule goals.

You can now add reports to your dashboards as resizable widgets. Just choose an existing report in the dashboard’s “add widget” menu. There are even configuration options for things like font size.

The new notes widget in Scoreboard and QuickScore 3.2 allows you to see the notes for a scorecard or initiative item on your dashboard. The widget shows a preview of each note, as well as an icon showing whether there are any replies.
