Some of the main functionality in this type of dashboard is that it is parameter driven and it gives the user four different KPI views, including: 1) Monthly trend in room nights, 2) Top revenue categories ranked by amount, 3) Top expense categories ranked by amount, and 4) Monthly trend in revenues. You find an example of this type of dashboard below.
