Tutorial: Building Your First Dashboard in DataView

What You'll Build

By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a live dashboard showing your team's key metrics — revenue, active users, and conversion rate — with auto-refreshing charts.

Prerequisites

  • DataView account (free tier works)
  • A connected data source (we'll use the sample dataset if you don't have one)

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Navigate to Dashboards > Create New Dashboard
  2. Name it "Team Metrics" and click Create
  3. Click + Add Widget and select Line Chart
  4. In the data panel: - Source: Select "Sample Sales Data" - X-Axis: Choose date - Y-Axis: Choose revenue - Group by: Select region
  5. Click Apply — you should see a line chart with revenue trends
  6. Repeat steps 3-5 to add: - A Counter widget showing total active users (COUNT(DISTINCT user_id)) - A Gauge widget for conversion rate (conversions / visits * 100)
  7. Drag and resize widgets to arrange your layout
  8. Click Auto-Refresh in the toolbar and set to 5 minutes
  9. Click Save & Share > Copy Link

Expected Results

Your dashboard should show three widgets updating in real time. Share the link with your team — they can view it without a DataView account.
