Dashboards

Dashboards let you select and organize reports from your workbooks into polished, shareable views for your team and stakeholders. Transform your exploratory analysis into production-ready deliverables by choosing which insights to highlight and present.

Use cases

Dashboards enable you to:

• Monitor key metrics – Display critical business indicators that refresh with live data
• Distribute analysis – Package your findings into reports for regular distribution
• Build data tools – Develop specialized applications powered by your semantic layer
• Present insights – Showcase important discoveries in a polished, accessible format

How it works

In the dashboard builder inside your workbook, select the reports you want to include and arrange them on the canvas alongside other widgets to tell your data story, then publish the dashboard. This gives stakeholders direct access to the insights that matter most, without the complexity of the underlying analysis.

Download as PNG or PDF

Open a published dashboard, click the More actions (⋯) button in the header, and choose Download as PNG or Download as PDF. The file is named after the dashboard's title.

The download is a server-rendered snapshot — Cube re-opens the dashboard, waits for every widget to finish rendering, and captures the result. This can take up to a couple of minutes for large dashboards. Filter or time grain selections you change in your browser before clicking Download are not applied; the snapshot uses the dashboard's saved state.

Available to users with Manage permission on the workbook that owns the dashboard. The same screenshot mechanism powers PNG/PDF attachments on notifications sent after a scheduled refresh.
