Standard dashboards

Use 蜜豆视频 Experience Platform Dashboards to expedite insights and customize visualization through the Dashboards feature. Use this feature to build and manage custom dashboards where you can create, add, and edit bespoke widgets to visualize key metrics relevant to your organization.

Create a custom dashboard

To create a custom dashboard, first, navigate to the dashboard inventory. Select Dashboards from the left navigation of the Platform UI followed by Create dashboard.

Before adding a custom dashboard, the dashboards inventory is empty and displays a 鈥淣o dashboards found.鈥� message. Once created, all of your dashboards are listed in the dashboard inventory.

The Create dashboard dialog appears. Enter a human-friendly, descriptive name for the collection of widgets you intend to create, and select Save.

Users who have purchased the Data Distiller SKU have the option to use custom SQL queries to create their insights. See the query pro mode overview for instructions on this workflow.

The newly created blank dashboard appears with your chosen name in the top left corner of the view.

Create a widget create-widget

From your new dashboard view, select Add new widget to begin the widget creation process.

Widget composer

The widget composer workspace appears. Next, select Select data to choose the data model from which to add attributes to your widgets.

Select data model select-data-model

The Select data model dialog appears. Select a data model from the left column to display a preview list of all available tables. The pre-configured data model for Real-Time Customer Data Platform is named CDPInsights.

TIP

Select the information icon ( ) to see the full data model name if it is too long to display in the data rail.

The preview list provides details about the tables contained in the data model. The table below provides descriptions of the column fields and their potential values.

Select Next to confirm your choice of data model. The next view displays a list of the available tables in the left rail. Select a table to see a comprehensive breakdown of the data contained in your selected table.

Populate widget populate-widget

The Preview panel contains tabs for Sample records and Attributes. The Sample records tab provides a subset of the records from the selected table in a tabulated view. The Attributes tab provides the attribute name, data type, and source table for every attribute associated with the selected table.

Select a table from the list available in the left rail to provide data for your widget, and select Select to return to the widget composer.

The widget composer is now populated with data from your chosen table.

The data model and currently selected table are displayed at the top of the left rail, and the attributes available to create your widget are listed in the Attributes column. You can use the search bar to look for attributes instead of scrolling the list, or change the chosen data model by selecting the pencil icon ( ) in the left rail.

Add and filter attributes add-and-filter-attributes

Select the add icon ( ) next to an attribute name to add an attribute to your widget. The dropdown menu that appears allows you to add an attribute as either the X axis, the Y axis, a color, or a filter for your widget. The Color attribute allows you to differentiate the results of the X and Y axis marks based on colour. It does this by splitting the results into different colours based on their composition of a third attribute.

TIP

If you want to flip the arrangement of X and Y axis, select the up and down arrow icon ( ) to switch their arrangement.

To change the type of graph or chart of your widget, select the Marks dropdown and choose from the available options. The options include bars, points, ticks, lines, or area. Once selected, a preview visualization of your widget鈥檚 current settings is generated.

By adding an attribute as a filter, you can select which values to include or exclude from the widget. After adding a filter from the attributes list, the Filter dialog appears where you can select or deselect values using their checkbox.

Filter out historical data filter-historical-data

To filter out historical data from the insights generated by your widget, add the date_key attribute as a filter and select Recent date followed by Apply. This filter ensures that the data used to derive insights is taken from the most recent system snapshot.

Alternatively, you can create a custom period to filter your data by. Select Select dates to extend the dialog with a list of available dates. Use the Select all checkbox to enable or disable all available options, or select the checkbox for each day individually. Finally, select Apply to confirm your choices.

Widget properties

Select the properties icon ( ) in the right rail to open the properties panel. In the Properties panel, enter a name for the widget in the Widget title text field.

From the widget properties panel, you can edit several aspects of your widget. You have complete control to edit the location of the widget legend. To move the legend, select the Legend placement dropdown and choose your desired location from the list of available options. You can also rename the label associated with the legend, and the X or Y axis by entering a new name into the Legend title text field, or Axis label text field respectively.

Save your widget save-widget

Saving in the widget composer saves the widget locally to your dashboard. If you wish to save your work and resume at a later time, select Save. A tick icon underneath the widget name indicates that the widget has been saved. Alternatively, when you are satisfied with your widget, select Save and close to make the widget available to all other users with access to your dashboard. Select Cancel to abandon your work and return to your custom dashboard.

TIP

Select the properties icon ( ) next to the dashboard name to see details about its creation. You can change the name of your dashboard in the dialog that appears.

Widgets can be re-arranged and resized while in this workspace. Select Save to preserve your dashboard name and configured layout.

To ensure that each query for an 蜜豆视频 Real-Time Customer Data Platform insights dashboard has enough resources to execute efficiently, the API tracks resource usage by assigning concurrency slots to each query. The system can process up to four concurrent queries, and therefore four concurrent query slots are available at any given time. Queries are put into a queue based on concurrency slots, then wait in the queue until enough concurrency slots are available.

Edit, duplicate, or delete a widget duplicate

Once you have created a widget, you can edit, duplicate, or delete entire widgets from your custom dashboard.

Select the pencil icon ( ) from the top right of your custom dashboard to enter the editing mode.

Next, select the ellipses in the top right of the widget that you wish to edit, copy or delete. Select the appropriate action from the dropdown menu.
