Once you add a question to your dashboard, it’ll look something like this:Īdding headings or descriptions with text cardsĪnother neat thing you can do is add heading and text cards to your dashboards. Then click the + icon in the top right of the dashboard editing interface (not the + in the main navigation bar) to add any of your saved questions to the dashboard, regardless of which collection the questions are in. You can also add a question to a dashboard by clicking on the pencil icon next to the name of the question, and selecting Add to dashboard.įrom a dashboard: Click on the pencil icon to edit the dashboard. There are two ways to add questions to a dashboard: from the dashboard, or from the question you want to add.įrom a question: you can add a newly saved question to a dashboard directly from the window that pops up after you save the question for the first time. For example, if you copy a dashboard that has been made public, that copied dashboard will not be public by default. What’s not copied: dashboard subscriptions, or any sharing or embedding data settings. In both cases, duplication only includes the dashboard, its card layout, filters, and (optionally) the questions. Metabase will copy the dashboard and refer to the original questions. If you don’t wish to copy the dashboard’s underlying questions, check the box that says Only duplicate the dashboard. To duplicate a dashboard, click on the … menu in the upper right of the dashboard, and select Duplicate.īy default, Metabase will create a new dashboard, with copies of the questions in the original dashboard (including the dashboard’s tabs), and save everything to the collection you specify. If you don’t want to build a dashboard from scratch, or want to experiment by making changes to an existing dashboard without affecting the original, you can duplicate an existing dashboard. If you want to move a card from one tab to the other, you’ll need to remove the card from one tab, and then add the card to the other tab. You can add multiple tabs to a dashboard to keep your cards organized.Ĭurrently, you can’t drag cards from tab to tab. Give your new dashboard a name and a description, choose which collections the dashboard should go in, then click Create, and Metabase will take you to your shiny new dashboard.

In the top right of the screen, click the + icon to open the Create menu, and select New Dashboard. You can make as many dashboards as you want. You can add filter widgets to dashboards that filter data identically across multiple questions, and customize what happens when people click on a chart or a table. These cards can be questions - such as tables, charts, or maps - or they can be text boxes. You can set up subscriptions to dashboards via email or Slack to receive the exported results of the dashboard’s questions.Ī dashboard comprises a set of cards arranged on a grid. You can think of dashboards as shareable reports that feature a set of related questions. Dashboards group questions and present them on a single page.
