Create a dashboard

A dashboard is a set of charts displayed in a dedicated workspace. The key feature of a dashboard is that all charts on it can be managed in a consistent manner. This means that a custom filter can be created on a dashboard and applied to all the charts on it at a time, e.g., like this.

Create an empty dashboard

On the Dashboards page on Apache Superset home screen, click +Dashboard to enter the new dashboard name (e.g., "IREX demo") and click Save. The new dashboard name will then appear on the dashboard list.

Add charts to the dashboard

  1. Click the dashboard name on the list to open the dashboard, then click Edit dashboard - the list of previously created charts appears on the sidebar on the right.
  2. Drag and drop the charts to add to the dashboard as shown.

    3. Dashboard edit view with the Charts sidebar open, dragging the Demographic groups and Event intensty charts onto the IREX demo dashboard

Manage charts on the dashboard

Consider an example, in which we will build a filter on a dashboard applicable to all the charts on it at a time. The filter will allow the selection of cameras that supply the data for the charts.

  1. On the dashboard, click as shown to open the Filters sidebar on the left.

    2. IREX demo dashboard with the Demographic groups and Event intensty charts, and the Filters sidebar toggle highlighted on the left

  2. Under the Filters, click Add or edit filters.

    3. Filters sidebar menu with Add or edit filters highlighted above Enable cross-filtering and Cross-filtering scoping

  3. On the Add filter screen, enter the name of the filter (e.g., "By channel").

    4. Add and edit filters dialog with the By channel filter named, Dataset set to kx_events, and Column set to channel_id

  4. Since the ID of a camera is in the channel_id column, select it under Column and click Save.

    5. By channel filter with a list of camera IDs selected and Apply filters button, next to the Demographic groups and Event intensity charts

  5. On the Filters sidebar, select the camera IDs to show on the chart and click Apply filters - all charts on the dashboard will be redrawn accordingly.
