--- title: Dashboard Tiles description: Overview of every tile type available on dashboards, their purpose, and their configuration options. --- # Dashboard Tiles Tiles are the individual building blocks of a dashboard. Each tile fetches and displays data from a specific source or AI model and refreshes automatically. You can add tiles to any dashboard via the **+ Add tile** button, which opens a wizard that groups tile types by category. Every tile shares a common set of actions accessible through the tile's dropdown menu: | Action | Description | |---|---| | **Refresh** | Immediately re-fetches the tile's data. | | **Rename** | Changes the tile's display title (up to 128 characters). | | **Move** | Enters edit mode so you can drag the tile to a new position. | | **Duplicate** | Copies the tile to the same or a different dashboard. | | **Toggle header** | Shows or hides the tile's header area. | | **Copy** | Copies the tile's text content to the clipboard. | | **Pause / Resume** | Stops or restarts automatic data refresh for the tile. | | **Diagnostics** | Shows job run history and error details (available for data-backed tiles). | | **Usage** | Shows credit usage for the tile's background job. | | **Delete** | Removes the tile from the dashboard. | --- ## Latest These tiles display the most recent items retrieved from a selected news or document data source. ### Latest News Displays a list of the most recently published articles from a chosen data source. **Requires:** News module | Option | Description | |---|---| | **Data source** | The news data source to fetch articles from. | | **Count** | Maximum number of articles to display. | | **Topic clustering** | Groups articles into topic clusters using AI. | ### Latest Web Summary Fetches the latest articles from a data source and generates an AI-written summary of their content. **Requires:** News module | Option | Description | |---|---| | **Data source** | The news data source to summarise. | | **Count** | Number of articles to include in the summary. | | **Language model** | The AI model used to produce the summary. | | **Facts** | Optional fact sheets attached as context for the AI. | ### Latest Word Cloud Builds a word cloud from the most recent articles in a data source, highlighting frequently occurring terms. **Requires:** News module | Option | Description | |---|---| | **Data source** | The news data source to analyse. | | **Grammar-enhanced word cloud** | Uses an AI model to normalise words to their base forms before counting. | | **Language model** | The AI model used for grammar enhancement (visible when grammar enhancement is on). | | **Minimum word length** | Filters out words shorter than this character count. | | **Minimum occurrences** | Filters out words that appear fewer times than this threshold. | | **Sentiment** | Limits the word cloud to words with a specific sentiment (positive, negative, or all). | | **Font scaling** | Controls how word size scales with frequency (e.g., linear). | ### Top List Shows a ranked list of the most-mentioned or most-interacted-with topics from a data source within a configurable time window. **Requires:** News module | Option | Description | |---|---| | **Data source** | The news data source to rank. | | **Retrospect window** | How many hours back to look when ranking topics (1–72 hours). | ### Data Trend *(beta)* Visualises interaction trends over time for documents from a data source. **Requires:** News module --- ## Search These tiles run a fixed search query against a data source and display the results. ### Search Displays news articles or documents matching a search query. **Requires:** News module | Option | Description | |---|---| | **Data source** | The data source to search. | | **Search query** | The search expression (up to 128 characters). | | **Sorting** | How results are ordered (e.g., by relevance, date).
