Creating a Dashboard

Dashboards live in the Dashboards area of your workspace. Creating one gives you an empty canvas onto which you add tiles, each backed by a query.

Create the dashboard​

  1. Open Dashboards.
  2. Choose New dashboard and give it a name.
  3. The new, empty dashboard opens ready for tiles.

Add tiles​

Each tile is backed by a query from your group:

  1. Add a tile to the dashboard.
  2. Pick the query that should power it.
  3. Choose how its result should display — table, cards, or a chart.

Repeat to add as many tiles as you need. Because each tile is just a saved query, any query in the group can become a tile — including ones with form variables.

Arrange the layout​

Position and size tiles to compose the page. Keep the most important numbers near the top, and group related tiles together. You can refine the layout any time — see Editing a dashboard.

Tips​

  • Build the underlying queries first, then assemble them into a dashboard.
  • Use aggregated queries (GROUP BY) for chart tiles so they stay fast and readable.
  • Once it looks right, share it with stakeholders.
