Visualize your data with dashboards.
The best way to understand your data is to visualize it. With dashboards, you can turn your data from one or more data views into a collection of dashboards that bring clarity to your data, tell a story about your data, and let you focus only on the data that’s important to you.
Dashboards display your data in graphs, tables, maps, and more, allowing you to compare your data side-by-side to identify patterns and connections. Dashboards support multiple types of dashboards for displaying data and several options for creating dashboards.
