How to navigate a sea of data and turn it into your own personal pool – with Focus Area it is possible to tailor your experience and simplify your daily work with HappySignals platform.
What is Focus Area
In large organizations, navigating a vast sea of data can be overwhelming. Experienced users have been able to navigate the HappySignals platform to analyze both experience and operational data. But for new users, it can be difficult to find their focus, when they need to analyze data from just one or a few areas for their daily work, such as a specific region or business unit in the organization.
Focus Area gives key information a spotlight, while everything else stays subtly in the background. Users can set up their own Focus Areas to tailor their platform view, highlighting only the data that is directly relevant to them. This feature enables users to better analyze crucial information, track trends, and in future, benefit from personalized views or insights about your chosen Focus Areas.

How to create a Focus Area

- Choose filter(s) you want to focus on from the two main data categories defined by your organization, which are related to employees' Geographical location and Organizational position.
- If needed, add advanced filters for further filtering in specific measurement areas.
- Give your Focus Area a clear name, then Save.
That’s it! Your Focus Area is ready to go.
Some example focus areas
- If you want to focus on experiences of employees in specific geographical locations, use one of the main data categories to select e.g. Countries Finland, Sweden, and Norway.
- If you are an Application Owner focusing on employee experiences with a specific application, as well as ticket-based support related to that application, use Advanced Filters to add that application as a filter from both Services and Enterprise Applications measurement areas.
- If you want to focus on ticket-based support provided by several assignment groups, use Advanced Filters to add those assignment group filters from the Services measurement area.
Focus Area in use: where does it work and how to switch it on and off
Toggle on Focus Area and select which of your Focus Areas (if you have multiple) you want to use. Your selected Focus Area follows you throughout the platform.
However, some pages will still show organization-wide information even while you’re in a Focus Area, such as the Benchmarks and Objectives pages. While you’re on such pages, Focus Area will be temporarily inactive.
Multiple Focus Areas
Need more than one Focus Area? You can create as many as you need. Easily edit, delete, or switch between them at any time. Keep in mind that you can only work in one Focus Area at a time.
