Dashboards

Dashboard

Dashboards let you turn your flows into interactive, shareable visualizations. Whether you're monitoring trends, sharing insights with your team, or presenting results to stakeholders — dashboards make your data speak clearly and live.

What is a dashboard?​

A dashboard in Datastripes is a live, interactive view of your flow. As your data changes or new inputs arrive, your dashboard updates automatically — no need to refresh or re-run steps.

Dashboards aren't just static views — they’re fully interactive, real-time interfaces that connect directly to your flow.

How to create a dashboard​

Creating a dashboard is simple:

  1. Build your flow — this is where the data and logic live.
  2. Click Create dashboard from the flow menu.
  3. Select the nodes you want to visualize — charts, tables, metrics, and more.
  4. Arrange them on the canvas using drag-and-drop.
  5. Customize styles, colors, and filters to match your audience.

Once you're done, you can save and publish — the dashboard is now ready to share.

Customizing your dashboard​

Dashboards in Datastripes are flexible. You’re not locked into one layout or style.

tip

You can fully tailor the look and behavior of your dashboard:

  • Show or hide any visualization
  • Drag and resize widgets to create the layout you want
  • Apply filters and interactive controls
  • Set light/dark themes or custom palettes

The goal: make the data clear, useful, and easy to explore.

Sharing and collaboration​

Collaboration is built in.

  • You can share a dashboard via a public or private link
  • Permissions can be set to allow view-only or full edit access
  • Dashboards can also be embedded in external websites, portals, or wikis

Perfect for teams that want to stay aligned on real-time metrics — or for sharing insights externally.

Exploring and interacting​

Dashboards aren’t passive. They invite exploration.

  • Click into charts to drill down into details
  • Use filters to narrow data in real time
  • Export visualizations as images or raw data as CSV

The experience is fast, smooth, and reactive — even with large datasets.

Example use cases​

Dashboards work well across teams and industries. Here are just a few ways they shine:

Sales teams track performance in real time.
Analysts share models and trends with non-technical teams.
Executives get a live view of KPIs across products or regions.

No matter your role, dashboards keep your data front and center — and always up to date.
