Dashboard tiles

A tile is a single display on a dashboard, such as a number, a chart, a map, or a table. Each tile shows its own view of your data, and you combine tiles to build a dashboard that tells the story you need.

Add and arrange tiles

You add tiles to a dashboard in edit mode.

Once a tile is on your dashboard, you can:

• Move and resize it
• Copy it to another dashboard

Each dashboard tab can hold up to 15 tiles. To show more, add another tab.

Choose a tile type

The tile type decides how your data appears. Orbit has these kinds of tile:

• Basic tiles: Text, number, and ROI number tiles
• Charts: Single and multi dimension charts, such as column, pie, and line charts
• Tables and cubes: Rows and columns of figures
• Maps: Your data shaded by area
• Venn diagrams: The overlap between groups of records
• Data grids: Lists of individual records
• Pareto charts: Your top contributors, such as the supporters who give the most
• Profile tiles: What makes an audience different from your wider customer base

See Tile types for every type and its page.

Set up a tile

You set up a tile in the tile editor: what it shows, how it counts, and how it looks. Measures explains what a tile can count or calculate.

A tile can also have:

• Drilldowns, so viewers can explore further levels of detail
• Tile filters, which apply to that tile only

Use a tile

While you view a dashboard, you can:

• Change how a chart tile displays, such as its data labels or sort order
• Select categories on a tile to filter the whole dashboard
• Export a chart, cube, table, or data grid tile as a file
• Analyse a chart, cube, or data grid tile in an audience workbook
