Dashboard creation and editing is available to admin users. Non-admin users can view dashboards but cannot create or modify them.
Creating a New Dashboard

- Click Create New to open the dashboard editor.

- Add widgets, configure filters, and arrange the layout.
- Click Save when finished.
The Dashboard Editor
The dashboard editor has three main areas:- Toolbar — Dashboard name, Add Widget button, Edit Filters button, Settings, and Save/Cancel controls. An unsaved changes indicator appears when you have pending edits.
- Widget Grid — A 12-column grid where your widgets are arranged. Drag widgets to reposition them and resize by dragging their edges.
- Widget Editor — Opens as a full-page view when you add or edit a widget.
Adding Widgets
Click Add Widget in the toolbar to open the widget editor. The editor has two panels:- Left panel — Widget type selector, title, widget-specific configuration, and optional hyperlink/layout settings.
- Right panel — Live preview at the top and data source configuration below.

Configuring Data Sources
Below the live preview, you configure where the widget gets its data. There are three modes:Guided Mode
The default mode. It provides a simplified interface tailored to the widget type:- Select a table — Pick from the available data sources (Accounts, Opportunities, Activities, etc.).
- Choose columns — Select the columns to display or aggregate.
- Set aggregations — For charts and metrics, choose how values are combined (SUM, AVG, COUNT, etc.).
- Add filters — Narrow the data for this specific widget.
- Configure grouping — For charts, choose the group-by column (the X-axis dimension).
Advanced Mode
A full visual query builder for complex queries:- Schema explorer — Browse all available tables and columns in a sidebar.
- Table selection — Add one or more tables with join conditions (LEFT, RIGHT, INNER, FULL).
- Column selection — Pick columns with optional aggregations and aliases.
- Filter builder — Create filter conditions with 15 operators (equals, greater than, in list, like, between, is null, etc.).
- Sort builder — Define sort order on one or more columns.
- Calculated fields — Define computed columns using expressions.
- SQL preview — See the generated SQL for your query.
- Results preview — Execute and preview results directly in the builder.
Saved Query Mode
Select from previously saved queries to reuse a data configuration across multiple widgets.Aggregations
When building charts or metric cards, you aggregate raw data into summary values. The available aggregation functions are:
Aggregations are applied per group. For example, a bar chart grouped by account type with a SUM aggregation on ARR shows the total ARR for each account type.
Filtering Widget Data
Each widget can have its own filters that are independent of the dashboard-level filters. Widget filters narrow the data before aggregation. To add a widget filter in guided mode:- Click Add Filter in the data configuration section.
- Select the column to filter on.
- Choose an operator (equals, greater than, in list, contains, etc.).
- Enter the filter value(s).
Widget-level filters are fixed into the widget’s query and are not visible to viewers. Dashboard-level filters (configured separately) appear in the filter bar and let viewers adjust them interactively. See Using Filters for details on dashboard filters.
Dashboard-Level Filters
Dashboard filters appear in the filter bar and let anyone viewing the dashboard narrow data across all widgets at once. To configure them:- Click Edit Filters in the dashboard editor toolbar.
- Add a filter and configure:
- Label — The name shown in the filter bar.
- Type — Multi-select, single select, text, date range, or number range.
- Column — The data column this filter targets.
- Table — Which data source the column belongs to (optional if unambiguous).
- Default value — The initial filter state when the dashboard loads.
- Dynamic options — When enabled, filter dropdown values are loaded from your data automatically.
Arranging the Layout
The dashboard grid is a 12-column layout. When you add a widget, it is placed at the next available position with a default size based on its type:Repositioning Widgets
Drag any widget by its header to move it to a new position on the grid. Other widgets reflow automatically to accommodate the change.Resizing Widgets
Drag the bottom-right corner of a widget to resize it. Widgets have a minimum size of 2 x 2 grid units to ensure readability.Responsive Behavior
The grid adapts to different screen sizes:
Widgets reflow automatically at each breakpoint so dashboards remain usable on smaller screens.

- Target — Open in a new tab or the current tab.
