Select **Products **from the top navigation bar **![44311769400091.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/44311769400091.png?width=329&height=165&name=44311769400091.png)** 1. This leads you to the **Dashboard,** a page that consolidates carbon emission data through clear visualizations and analysis tools. ![44311785127963.gif](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/44311785127963.gif?width=964&height=702&name=44311785127963.gif) 2. After clicking **Next**, this is where you enter unowned assets that are not operationally controlled by your organization. Any of the percentages inputted into these fields will be applied to the organization’s overall scope 3 emissions. **Expand to show screenshot** ![39904232850971.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/39904232850971.png?width=514&height=615&name=39904232850971.png)   3. These product distribution percentages are related to **Upstream Transportation, Downstream Transportation,** and **Distribution Center & Retail Energy.** 4. To input percentages on this window: - Estimate the percentage of assets they own under each category and subtract from 100%. - Enter this value into each respective field.   ## **Dashboard** The **Dashboard** is where you can look for insights into Scope 3 emissions at various stages, identify high-impact areas, and track progress against any emission reduction targets. ![39905404336283.png](https://support.worldly.io/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/39905404336283.png) The first three cards on the dashboard highlight important emissions metrics to your brand: - **Total Emissions:** Total CO2e emissions for all added products in the selected reporting period  - **Highest Impact Product:** The single product contributing the most emissions overall - **Highest Impact Category:** The single category contributing the most emissions overall Next, the **Product Impacts by Stage** bar chart shows the breakdown of emissions by life cycle stage for all of the brand’s products and enables brands to target specific stages for impact reduction.    Let’s use the t-shirt example to review each section of this chart from left to right.![41129820954139.gif](https://support.worldly.io/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/41129820954139.gif) 1. The **Materials** for this example is cotton fabric. 2. The **Components** for this example is a heat logo transfer 3. The **Final Assembly** for this example includes the organization’s most recent Higg FEM linked to the t-shirt’s purchase order. This is assigned to the t-shirt within the product impact calculator. 4. The **Packaging** for this example includes a small paper shopping bag. 5. The **Upstream Transportation** for this example includes 1,000 kilometers of transportation via airplane. 6. The **Downstream Transportation** for this example includes 1,000 kilometers of transportation via truck. 7. The **Distribution** for this example includes 0.065 kWh of nonrenewable electricity, 0.215 kWh of natural gas, and 0.3 liters of water usage. 8. The **Retail** for this example includes 0.75 kWh of nonrenewable electricity, 0 kWh of natural gas, and 2.65 liters of water usage. 9. The **Use of Sold Products** for this example includes 2.3 Wearings per Wash and 17.8 Washings per Lifetime of the t-shirt. 10. The **End of Life** for this example includes going to the landfill. It’s important to note the **Use of Sold Products** and **End of Life** treatment of sold products are fixed and cannot be edited. ![POs with FEM.png](https://support.worldly.io/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/39905404338459.png) Next, these three cards on the dashboard focus on product metrics to your brand: - **Total Products:** The number of products that have been added to the system - **Total Customized Products:** The number of products that have been customized in terms of materials, weight, components, or packaging - **Purchase Orders with FEM:** The number of purchase orders in PIC that are linked to FEM assessments ![39905420711835.gif](https://support.worldly.io/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/39905420711835.gif) Finally, the Top Emissions tables in the dashboard show: - **Top Product Emissions:** A ranked list of the top products with the highest emissions. - **Top Category Emissions:** A ranked list of the top categories with the highest emissions. - **Top Tier 1 Supplier Emissions:** A ranked list of the top Tier 1 Suppliers with the highest emissions. - Select the name of the Tier 1 Supplier to open the Facility Profile. ![49441310601499.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/49441310601499.png?width=651&height=205&name=49441310601499.png) The **Impact kgCO2e** column pinpoints emission hotspots in your supply chain, while the **% of Total** column shows how large of a share belongs to a certain product, category, or Tier 1 Supplier.   ### **Date Range Filtering** In the upper right corner of the screen, notice the date range filter labeled **PO Date.** Enter in a start date and end date into the numerical fields to filter data for a specific date range. 1\. For example, if you’d like to filter for 2024, enter January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. **Expand to show screenshot** ![40764520055963.png](https://support.worldly.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/40764520055963.png?width=412&height=228&name=40764520055963.png) 2\.
