Existing dashboards
Data apps replace dashboards for new work. You can still view and edit existing dashboards. Build a data app for new analyses.
Dashboards are collections of Insights, organized into a single view to monitor metrics, track KPIs, and share reports with your team.
What are Dashboards?
Dashboards combine multiple Insights (visualizations, metrics, tables) into a unified layout:
- Widgets: add insights, text annotations, and grouped sections
- Grid layout: arrange and resize widgets freely
- Variables: filter all widgets at once with shared parameters
Dashboard Variables
Variables let you parameterize your entire dashboard:
- Shared filters: apply date ranges or segments across all insights
- Dynamic values: switch between different dimensions or metrics
- Variable mapping: connect dashboard variables to individual insight parameters
When you change a variable, all linked widgets update together.
Tasks on dashboards
Attach a task to a dashboard to check it on a schedule and deliver findings through notifications.
Move to a data app
Describe the existing dashboard's metrics, filters, and audience to an agent. Ask it to inspect the underlying queries and build a data app with equivalent results. Verify the calculations, then create and test a share link before distributing the new app.
