Dashboards
Build drag-and-drop dashboards of metrics and charts, pick your home page and share a public link.
A dashboard is a grid of cards you arrange yourself: headline numbers, charts, saved insights, notes and live widgets. Dashboards are shared with everyone in the project. The project Home page is a dashboard too.
Build a dashboard
- Dashboards → New dashboard. Start blank, or from Overview with headline metrics, active people and top events.
- Click Add to open the card library.
- Click Customize to drag cards by their title and resize them from the bottom-right corner. Changes save as soon as you let go.
The library has:
| Card | Shows |
|---|---|
| Metric | One big number with the change against the previous period and a sparkline. Ready-made ones include active people, sessions and pageviews. Custom metric lets you pick any event and measure, such as the sum of amount with a $ prefix. |
| Chart | A trend, funnel or retention chart that lives on the dashboard. You don't need to save it as an insight. |
| Insight | A saved insight. Edit the insight to change it. |
| Text | A section heading or a note. |
| Widget | Top events, the live event stream or recent changes. |
The date range and Compare to previous period at the top apply to every card, and they're saved with the dashboard.
On phones, the grid becomes a list: metrics two per row, everything else full width, in the same order. Rearrange cards on a desktop.
Home page
A new project's Home page is an Overview board: four headline metrics, daily active people, top events, live events and recent changes. Customise it like any other dashboard.
To make another dashboard your home page, open it and choose ⋯ → Use as home page.
Share a public link
Share creates a read-only link like https://app.datahop.dev/share/shr_…. Anyone with the link sees the dashboard live, without an account, and can switch between 24h, 7d, 30d, 90d and 12m.
- Shown: card titles, numbers, charts and their labels, headings, notes and top events.
- Never shown: queries and filters, cohort definitions, individual people, raw events or your project token. The live events and recent changes widgets are left out.
- Numbers refresh every minute.
- Links unfurl in Slack, X and iMessage with the dashboard and project name.
Reset link issues a new URL and turns off the old one. Switching sharing off turns off the link too. With a custom domain, share links use your domain.
Ask an agent
Agents can build and read dashboards too. For example: "Build a SaaS health dashboard with weekly signups by source, the signup → project → invite funnel, weekly retention and upgrade revenue." An agent reads a whole dashboard in one call, card by card, through the same summaries you see. See Agents.
