Create a Dashboard

You can add up to 10 widgets in a custom dashboard and create 10 custom dashboards per user. The dashboard and widgets can be customized at any time. You can customize the widget tile, description, show or hide filters, dashboard settings such as layout, dashboard name, and descriptions, and also include filters in the dashboard.

  1. Click Dashboards+.
  2. Enter a name for the dashboard.
  3. Select a widget category from the Widget Library drop-down.
  4. Add the widget to the dashboard - Hover the mouse over the widget to learn about the widget. Drag and drop the widget to the dashboard canvas.
    You can add more widgets of the same or different types from another widget category to the dashboard canvas.
  5. Switch between the Sample Data and Real Data view to know how your dashboard widget looks. Sample data helps you visualize how your dashboard will look and what type of information you can see. Use the Real Data option to view the actual data for your deployment.

    • Rearrange the widgets in the dashboard - select the widget and drag and drop where required in the canvas.
    • Edit a widget - Use the edit icon at the top-right corner of each widget to edit the widget settings. The settings available depend on the widget and are not the same across all widgets.

      You can edit the widget settings in the editor view or after you save the dashboard.

    • use the edit or delete icon to modify or delete the custom dashboard.
