I need a dashboard that can give me the sum of the different values fed in the various activity fields for a single activity.
we are not concerned about the user here. we need a view of the data fed inside the activity field.

Hi. I need some context regarding the problem you’re facing. Are you unable to create a dashboard, or is there a specific dashlet that isn’t working for you?
