Native Eightfold Dashboards
WHAT'S INCLUDED
This release ships Eightfold's native dashboards — an in-product way to build analytics views without an external BI tool. A dashboard holds widgets (number, trend line, pie chart, or table), each powered by a dataset — an existing governed one, or a custom one you build with SQL. Start from a blank canvas or a template (Recruitment Effectiveness, Source Analytics, Survey Analytics, TA Features and Usage, Calibration, TM Skills, TM Diversity, TM Feature Usage and Outcome, TM Usage Summary, TM Outcomes Summary, AI Interviewer, AI Companion, or PCS), organize into tabs and sections, and share with specific users or groups. Viewers can filter, drill into a number for detail, check a widget's metric definition, and export raw data. These dashboards are not part of this release: Recruitment Effectiveness with Talent Tracking, an Offers Dashboard, Source Analytics v2 (for users who have enabled source tracking functionality), and AI 360 Interviewer.
Unlike QuickSight, native dashboards are built directly into the product on StarRocks — loading in seconds, feeling natively embedded, and working consistently across AWS, Azure, and GCP. They also add self-serve metric configuration, more flexible widgets and layouts, and automated data health monitoring with weekly alerts. This release isn't available to Gov region customers yet.
Native dashboards appear alongside QuickSight dashboards under Insights, marked with a blue Standard Reporting tag. Existing QuickSight dashboards will be migrated automatically over the coming months — with PSE/SA teams handling last-mile changes and sign-off alongside the customer — ahead of QuickSight's deprecation on December 31, 2026.

WHY IT MATTERS
Admins and Admins (Analytics) can build the exact recruiting or talent-management view a team needs — from ready-made widgets or ones built from scratch — instead of waiting on an external BI tool.
Pre-configured templates give teams a ready-to-use starting point instead of building from zero.
Viewers can re-slice data themselves using dashboard filters (date range, business unit, department, recruiter, and more, including any custom fields your organization has already configured), without asking the builder for a new version.
Viewers can drill into a data point or chart category for more detail — for example, from a monthly trend down to week-by-week — without leaving the dashboard.
A widget's exact metric definition is one click away from its kebab menu, so a surprising number can be explained instead of assumed wrong.
Exporting a widget's raw data by email lets teams pivot or join it with other data outside the platform.
When Row-Level Security is on, each viewer automatically sees only the data their user group is permitted to see, so one dashboard can be shared broadly while still respecting individual access.
FEATURE DETAILS
Who can access | Authoring (dashboards, widgets, and datasets) is limited to Admin and Admin (Analytics) roles, who can also view dashboards by default. All other users — including TA Leader/Recruiting Manager, CHRO, HRBP, and TA Ops — need a dashboard explicitly shared with them before they can view it. The Share button is available only to users who have permission to "author dashboard." |
Feature Type | Default On |
Requirements | No system configuration prerequisites are stated for using the feature itself. |
GETTING STARTED
Admins: Admins have authoring rights by default to create dashboards and widgets, and can share a dashboard with specific users or groups from its kebab menu. To filter viewer data automatically by permissions, set up Row-Level Security: add each relevant user to a User Group linked to a role that defines both Permissions and Access Criteria. The Admin role always bypasses this filtering. To know more, read Native Eightfold Dashboards.
End users: Select Insights from the top navigation bar in Talent Acquisition to see every dashboard available to you. Dashboards marked with a tag Standard Reporting are native; dashboards without one are the legacy QuickSight dashboards. From an open dashboard: use the filter pills and Date range to re-slice the data, select a chart's data point or category to drill into detail, open a widget's kebab menu and select Widget Details to see its metric definition, or select Export Raw Data to receive the widget's underlying data by email.
