Dashboards Overview

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

Dashboards are visual collections of widgets that display your data with configurable refresh intervals. Each widget connects to a data source and shows a specific metric or chart.

What Is a Dashboard?

A clariBI dashboard is a single page that holds multiple widgets arranged in a grid layout. Widgets can be KPI cards, charts, tables, or advanced visualizations. When your underlying data changes, widgets update to reflect the latest values.

Auto-Generated Dashboards

When you connect a data source, clariBI automatically generates a Data Insights dashboard with pre-computed charts - no AI credits needed. This gives every user, including those on the Free tier, immediate visual insights from their data. You can view, share, and interact with auto-generated dashboards just like any other dashboard.

Dashboard Limits

Each dashboard supports approximately 15-20 widgets depending on the complexity of visualizations used. Simple metric cards take fewer resources than complex tables or heatmaps, so your exact capacity depends on the widget mix. The AI recommendation system caps at 15 widgets per dashboard to keep layouts readable.
