How to Create a Blank Dashboard

A blank dashboard gives you complete control to build exactly what you need. Start with a clean canvas and choose which data sources to include.

What You Can Do

Create a new dashboard with a custom name. Select the blank dashboard type to start from scratch. Choose your data sources (monitors or channels) to connect to the dashboard. Access the dashboard canvas immediately after creation. Add widgets to your blank dashboard anytime.

Before You Start

You need proper access to create dashboards in your workspace. At least one monitor or channel must be available in your workspace to add to the dashboard.

Step by Step

Step 1 - Navigate to Dashboards

Go to Home → Dashboards.

Step 2 - Click Create Dashboard

Click the blue "+ Create Dashboard" button in the top right corner.

Step 3 - Enter Dashboard Name

Type a unique name for your dashboard in the "Dashboard Name" field. The name must be different from all other dashboards in your workspace. If the name already exists, this error appears: "A dashboard with this name already exists. Please choose a different name."

Step 4 - Select Blank Dashboard Type

Under "Dashboard Type," select "Custom" (it is the default selection). This creates a blank dashboard you build from scratch.

Step 5 - Click Next

Click the "Next" button to proceed to the dashboard canvas.

Step 6 - Your Blank Dashboard is Ready

Your dashboard is created and opens on the canvas. You see the message "No Widgets Added" and an "+ Add Widgets" button. Your dashboard is now ready to use.

Managing Your Dashboard

Once your blank dashboard is created, you have several options. Use the date range dropdown (top right) to filter all data to a specific time period. Click "+ Add Widgets" to start adding content to your dashboard. Click the "Edit" button to change the dashboard name or data sources.
