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.
