Creating a Dashboard

How to create, configure, and delete dashboards, and how to restore a soft-deleted dashboard.

Creating a Dashboard

Dashboards are fully customisable collections oftilesthat bring together data from multiple modules — news, time series, geography, surveys, entities, and more — on a single screen. This article explains how to create a new dashboard, which templates are available, how to delete one, and how to recover it afterwards.

Navigate toDashboardsfrom the main menu to get started.

Creating a New Dashboard

Click the+ Createbutton at the top of theDashboardspage. A dialog opens with two groups of options:

Starting from Scratch

OptionDescription
EmptyCreates a blank dashboard. You can add tiles manually after creation.
CopyDuplicates an existing dashboard — select one from the dropdown list. The new dashboard inherits all tiles and their configuration.
Generate with AIDescribe what you want in plain language and the AI assistant will generate a dashboard for you automatically.

Starting from a Template

Templates set up a pre-configured dashboard tailored to a specific use-case. Each template requires a subscription to the relevant module.

TemplateRequiresWhat it creates
News TopicNews moduleA dashboard pre-loaded with news tiles focused on a specific topic you enter. You can also attach additionalfactsfor context.
EntityEntities moduleA dashboard centred on a specific entity (person, organisation, place). Search for the entity by name, select the data sources to include, and optionally attachfacts.
Financial InstrumentTime Series moduleA dashboard tracking a financial instrument. Enter a ticker symbol (e.g.MSFT,BET:OTP,EURHUF,BTCUSD,GOLD).
CampaignSurveys moduleA dashboard summarising the results of a survey campaign. Select the campaign from the list.

Naming and Saving

After choosing a creation method or template, a confirmation step asks you to:

  • Name— a required title for the dashboard (up to 128 characters).
  • Description— an optional description (up to 4 096 characters).

The number of tiles that will be created (for template-based dashboards) is shown as a preview. ClickCreateto save and open the new dashboard.

Deleting a Dashboard

Dashboards can be deleted from two places:

  • From the list page— hover over a dashboard card onDashboardsand click theDeletebutton that appears.
  • From inside a dashboard— click theDeletebutton in the toolbar at the top of the dashboard page.

Deletion is asoft delete: the dashboard is not immediately and permanently removed. You can recover it within the retention period (see below).

Recovering a Deleted Dashboard

If dashboards have been soft-deleted, aDeleted dashboardslink appears at the bottom of theDashboardspage. Click it to openDashboards → Deleted dashboards.

From there you can:

  • Restore— moves the dashboard back to the active list. The dashboard and all its tiles are fully restored.
  • Delete permanently— removes the dashboard and all its tiles irreversibly.

Use the search box to find a specific dashboard by name if the list is long.
