Understanding the Dashboard

ALTIVOSponsor Management

This article explains the two dashboard views in Altivo, what each KPI card measures, what the charts show, and how to interpret the numbers. It also covers the AI Advisor panel and common troubleshooting questions.

Dashboard

What are the two dashboard views?

Altivo provides two dashboard views: Dashboard (KPIs, revenue trends, top sponsors) and Admin Dashboard (allocation status, asset utilisation, sponsor breakdowns). Both show real-time data refreshed on every page load.

What does each KPI card measure?

KPIWhat it measures
Total RevenueSum of all sponsorship contribution values in the selected date range
Available Asset ValueAnnual value of unsold asset inventory (potential, not actual, revenue)
Outstanding AllocationsAllocations not yet fulfilled or completed
Unallocated ValueSponsorship money received but not yet assigned to assets
OverdueAllocations past their end date but not yet marked as Fulfilled or Completed
Pending ValueValue of allocations in Draft or Pending status

What do the charts show?

  • Revenue Timeline: Monthly bar chart of sponsorship revenue based on date received

  • Top Sponsors: Horizontal bars showing top contributors by total value

  • Sponsorships by Purpose: Grouped bars by purpose (Sports, Arts, Academic, etc.) and contribution type (Cash, Goods, Services)

What does the Admin Dashboard show?

  • Sponsor breakdown: Per-sponsor detail including allocation counts, fulfilment rate, and total sponsored

  • Asset utilisation: Units, utilisation percentage, and revenue per asset

  • Expiring allocations: Sorted by urgency (Critical, Warning, Expired)

  • Acquisition trend: New sponsors per month and cumulative totals

What is the AI Advisor?

The AI Advisor is a sliding panel available on any page. It has three modes: Summarise (plain-English overview of your data), Benchmark (compare against typical schools), and Packages (suggest bundled sponsorship packages). It reads your live data and does not modify anything.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the dashboard show all zeros?

You need both sponsorships with contribution values and allocations with agreed values. If you only have sponsors and assets with no recorded financial transactions, KPIs will show R0.

Revenue is appearing in the wrong months. Why?

Revenue on the timeline chart uses the sponsorship's Date Received, not the date it was created in Altivo. Check that your sponsorships have the correct Date Received set.

What is Available Asset Value and why is it so high?

This is the theoretical annual value of all unsold inventory at full price - not actual earnings. Think of it as your school's potential sponsorship capacity. It is useful for benchmarking and conversations with the School Governing Body.

What does a healthy dashboard look like?

A healthy dashboard shows growing revenue, low unallocated value (money is being assigned to assets), high asset utilisation, and few overdue allocations. If you have high unallocated value, it means sponsorship money is sitting idle.
