Using Dashboards
Use dashboards to combine widgets, monitor data, compare metrics, review tasks, and create shared views for operational workflows.
Use dashboards when you want one place to monitor data, tasks, trends, and operational context together.
Dashboards can include live data, charts, tables, task widgets, AI insights, shortcuts, feed views, and more.
Open a dashboard
You can reach dashboards from the Dashboards tab of a channel, including site channels, data-source channels, and other channel types that include dashboards.
- Open the channel that contains the dashboard you want.
- Click the dashboard name.
- Review the current date range and the visible widgets.
Change the date range
Click the date range in the dashboard toolbar to pick a preset such as Today, This Week or Last 30 Days.
To look back a set number of periods:
- Open the Custom tab.
- Choose Day, Week, Month or Year.
- Enter how many.
- Choose whether to include the current period. For example, the last 3 days including today.
You can go back up to 365 days, 52 weeks, 36 months or 3 years.
What dashboards can include
Dashboards support a wide widget catalog.
Common examples include:
- data research widgets such as KPI, Grouped KPI, KPI Table, Column, Bar, Pie, and Time series
- Data Table widgets for forms and readings
- task widgets such as Board, List, and Task Statistics
- AI Insights
- utility widgets such as Header, Shortcuts, Feed, Filter Widget, Streaming, and Data Streaming
How dashboards are usually built
Most dashboard work follows this pattern:
- Create the dashboard.
- Confirm the right data sources, channels, or task context already exist.
- Add widgets.
- Arrange the layout.
- Save and share the result.
Use the dashboard toolbar
The dashboard toolbar lets you:
- add widgets
- open AI build dashboard…
- switch into layout editing
- edit dashboard settings
- refresh the data
- set auto-update
- share the dashboard
- enter full screen
Most dashboard options live in the Dashboard options menu next to the dashboard time range. Open that menu when you want layout, data preference, sharing, cache, home page, or full-screen actions.
