Dashboards

Dashboards are configurable operational views built from widgets. Each widget binds to a data source: a feature layer, form submissions, an IoT stream, or an analysis result.

Create a dashboard​

  1. Open Dashboards → New dashboard.
  2. Enter a Name and Slug.
  3. Click Create.

The dashboard opens in the editor with an empty grid.

Add a widget​

  1. Click Add widget.
  2. Pick a widget type:
    • KPI card: a single metric.
    • Gauge: a progress meter (0 to 100).
    • Chart: line, bar, pie, or area.
    • Map: an embedded 2D map of a layer or submissions.
    • List: a tabular display of records.
    • Table: a sortable, filterable table.
    • Note: rich-text annotation.
    • Indicator: an up / down / neutral status light.
  3. Pick a Data source:
    • A feature layer (count, sum, mean, min, max, or filter).
    • Form submissions (count by template, by status, or aggregate values).
    • An IoT stream (live readings).
    • Annotations or work orders.
  4. Configure the widget. Each type has its own options (chart type, colours, thresholds).
  5. Click Save.

The widget appears on the grid.

Arrange widgets​

  • Drag a widget to move it.
  • Drag the bottom-right corner of a widget to resize it.
  • Click Save layout in the toolbar to commit the changes.

Add cross-widget filters​

Cross-widget filters cascade: clicking on one widget filters every other widget on the dashboard.

  1. Open the dashboard's Filters panel.
  2. Click Add filter.
  3. Pick the field to filter by.
  4. Click Save.

Now clicking a chart segment, list row, or map feature applies that value as a filter to every other widget.

Use a template​

To start from a pre-built dashboard:

  1. Click New dashboard and pick From template.
  2. Pick an industry template (water utility ops, rail asset health, highways condition).
  3. Click Create from template.

The new dashboard inherits the template's widgets. Edit them to point at your own data.

Share publicly​

  1. Click Share in the dashboard toolbar.
  2. Choose an expiry for the link.
  3. Click Copy link.

Anyone with the link can view the dashboard without signing in.

Embed in another site​

  1. Click Share → Embed.
  2. Copy the iframe snippet.
  3. Paste it into your portal or website.

What next?​

  • Maps: build the feature layers that feed dashboard widgets.
  • Submissions: see how field captures roll up into dashboard counts.
  • Spatial analysis: produce derived layers that become widget data sources.
