Dashboards
Dashboards are where you add tiles to show data as tables or graphs, and where you configure monitoring.
Dashboards refresh once a minute and can be manually refreshed via the Force refresh button.
This one minute video shows you how to add a data source and a data tile with a line graph visualization to a new dashboard using the dashboard designer:
Creating new dashboards
- Navigate to the workspace where you want the dashboard. Or create a new workspace by clicking + Add workspace from the dropdown next to the current workspace name on the left-hand menu.
Click the + next to Dashboards on the left-hand menu to create a new dashboard.
- Rename the dashboard by overwriting the New Dashboard title.
Configuring a tile on a dashboard
There are three types of tile that you can configure:
- Data – visualize data on your dashboard, see Data tiles
- Image – add an image to your dashboard, see Image tiles
- Text – add text to your dashboard, see Text tiles
Editing existing dashboards
SquaredUp comes with some sample dashboards and sample data to allow you to see the visualizations available. You can edit these dashboards and tiles, as you can with the sample dashboards installed with any data source.
- To edit a dashboard click the Edit pencil button at the top of the screen.
- Then to edit a tile click the Edit tile pencil button at the top of a tile.
- You can also select Clone tile or Delete tile, see Tile editing options.
Configuring dashboards
Dashboards and tiles can be configured using the available settings found on the page to perform actions such as sharing or setting the timeframe of your dashboards, see Dashboard settings.
