Octoboard super menu

In the dialog that will appear, select destination client. By default dashboards and reports are copied to the same client (or team).

Using different currencies

When Octoboard connects to a cloud application it retrieves data in the currency that you use in that application. For example, if your Facebook Ads account is setup in British Pound (GBP), we will get all Spend, Cost Per Click and other metrics in British Pounds.

Since we do not know what currency is being used (we can not ask this information from Facebook), by default, we will display a dollar sign ($) next to financial metrics. However, you can always override this default value by specifying another currency in Octoboard.

How to configure currencies in Octoboard

To change currency symbol, go to LEFT MENU, select CLIENTS, choose your CLIENT, select "Formatting" tab and use available configurations as shown on this image:

Client config formats

Please note that this configuration is defined on a PER-CLIENT level. This means that if you have multiple clients operating in different currencies, you can always set different currency symbols for each individual client.

Show value changes as percentage

By default metrics in Octoboard display changes over time in absolute values. If you would like to see changes in relative terms you can configure this by going to your TEAM or CLIENT configuration and visiting "Formats" tab. There you can select "Percentage" or "Absolute values" as show on the image below:

Configuring data changes delta vs absolute values

This setting works for all widgets of the TEAM or CLIENT.
