Adding a Query/Visualization to a Dashboard

When editing a dashboard, you have the option to add a query tile to your dashboard (Add > Visualization). This allows you to create a completely new report from scratch and add its visualization to the dashboard as a tile. The report you build here is saved and available only in the current dashboard.

If you want to add a report that already exists, follow the steps in Add a Report to a Dashboard. That method creates a link to the report from the dashboard, and means you can use the same report in multiple dashboards.

To create a new query/visualization and add it as a tile in the current dashboard:

1. Access the dashboard for edit - for information, see Edit a Dashboard.
2. Click Add > Visualization.
3. In Choose an Explore, browse for and select the report to use as a the basis for the tile.

4. Add this information:

   • Add a title for the tile in top left corner.
   • Select the fields and filters from the field picker.
   • Configure your visualization options in the Visualization pane.

   

5. Once you have set up your query, click Run to confirm it provides the correct data.
6. Click Save to save the query as a tile on your dashboard.
7. Resize or reposition the tile as required. For more information, see Reorder and Resize a Tile.
8. Click Save to save the changes to the dashboard.
