What Is a Dashboard Asset?​

Under the Dashboard section you will find assets synchronized from your Business Intelligence and Analytics platforms. Here is where you will be able to find semantic models or data sets, as well as dashboards and reports.

Dashboard and Reports Documentation​

The descriptions for dashboards and reports are automatically synchronized from the BI or Analytics source.

You can also add extra documentation in the README section for each dashboard and report. When doing that, the best practice is to think about the questions you would like your documentation to answer. Some examples of such questions can be found below:

  • Why do we have this dashboard or report? Describe why the dashboard exists or its main use cases
  • Who should use it? Target audience
  • What does it contain? What does it measure? Describe what the dashboard or report contains: Key KPIs, Measures, and Attributes. Consider linking to a Knowledge page and pinning it (see Pinned assets and mentions) if the measure, KPI, or attribute will be reused in other dashboards
  • How and when? Describe the source of the data (for example, CRM, payment system, etc.) and how often it will be refreshed in the dashboard
  • Anything particular we should know? Any particular calculations happening in the dashboard
