Over the last month I have been focusing in on building a Business Intelligence Sales Dashboard for one of my clients. Dashboards are such handy tools as they give you a quick glance look at the activity going on and provide each in this case, Sales reps with their key metrics to help improve sales techniques and generally the ability to do their jobs (as well as add in a little healthy competition into the sales game!).

After a little research into various different metrics and ways of displaying metrics in a clean and simply way I came across the book "Information Dashboard Design" by Stephen Few, one of the real pioneers in effective data communication who created the "Bullet Graph" and who's work I have been following for a while now.

I spent some time today porting my ClickTale module over to github which is now available with more documentation at https://github.com/cam-findlay/silverstripe-clicktale.
You can also grab the download package and a bit more information from the SilverStripe.org modules section: http://silverstripe.org/clicktale-anayltics-module/.
