A new dashboard has been developed to give users a quick, easy‑to‑understand view of key financials and a simple summary of operational transactions. This tool is designed specifically for budget managers who do not regularly use financial reports, with the goal of making financial information clearer, faster to review, and more intuitive. We are seeking up to 15 participants, particularly budget managers with limited financial reporting experience, to help test the dashboard and provide feedback. See the full post for participation details.
