Dashboards

A dashboard brings several queries together on one screen. Each tile runs a query and shows its result as a table, cards, or a chart, so a dashboard becomes a live, at-a-glance report built entirely from your SQL.

What a dashboard is made of

  • Tiles — each tile is backed by one query and renders that query's result.
  • Layout — you arrange and resize tiles to compose the page.
  • Sharing — a dashboard can be shared publicly via a secure link, optionally protected by a password and an expiry date.

Why use dashboards

  • One screen, many queries. Pull KPIs, trends and tables side by side.
  • Refresh on demand. Each tile runs its query to fetch current numbers — for heavy queries, tiles can run in the background so the page stays responsive.
  • Share with non-technical viewers. Recipients see the results without needing a Kvery account or any SQL knowledge.

How tiles render results

Tiles use the same result engine as the editor. Tables paginate (with a smaller page size to fit a tile), and charts use the full range of chart types. Because every tile is just a query, you shape its output with the same column modifiers you use everywhere else.
