Hey folks,

 

I know a lot people have some great displays for schedule boards and other things. I think it would be great for the community to share some tips and inspiration!

Going to start off this thread with one of my frustrations and a fix for it!

 

Whenever we refreshed the schedule board it would grab the manager name of the last refreshed person if we had multiple schedule boards up. Pretty quickly we would would have the same Manager on the board multiple times rather than 3 separate managers.

 

Here is how we fixed that!

 

Step 1: Open Firefox Profile Manager

  1. Close Firefox Completely:

    • Make sure all Firefox windows are closed.
  2. Launch Profile Manager:

    • Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
    • Type:

      firefox.exe -p

    • Press Enter.
  3. Profile Manager Opens:

    • You’ll see a list of profiles and options to create new ones.

Step 2: Create New Profiles

  1. Click "Create Profile":

    • Follow the prompts and give your new profile a unique name (e.g., "Work", "Personal").
  2. Repeat for Each Profile:

    • Create as many profiles as needed.

Step 3: Create Desktop Shortcuts for Convenience

  1. Create a New Shortcut:

    • Right-click on the desktop and select New > Shortcut.
    • In the location field, type:

      "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p "ProfileName" -no-remote

      Replace "ProfileName" with your profile’s name.
  2. Name the Shortcut:

    • Give it a name like "Firefox - Work" or "Firefox - Personal".
  3. Repeat for Each Profile:

    • Make shortcuts for all profiles you want to access.

 

You can then open each profile and log into Aspire independently and they will not impact each other.


A second problem we had was making the display full screen while keeping it windowed in firefox. Here is the fix!

  1. Access about:config:

    • In the address bar, type about:config and press Enter.
    • Click the button to accept the risk and proceed.
  2. Search for Zoom Settings:

    • In the search bar, type zoom.
  3. Modify the Settings:

    • Look for the preference browser.zoom.siteSpecific. Ensure its value is set to true. If it's set to false, double-click it to toggle it to true.

@vladryabyy I like your graph of Maintenance Hours Variance by Crew Leader! Does each bar represent a different Crew Leader?

It does! This report goes all the way from the Branch Level down to Individual Work Tickets.


Hello! I also like your graph of Maintenance Hours Variance by Crew Leader, I am new to using aspire and would love to know how to build it.


@madvocate That is actually a custom build using Power BI and the Aspire API. Unfortunately it is not something you can build in Aspire itself.


Here’s one I like breaking down client contract growth YoY into new clients added, existing client growth, and lost clients:
