Creating a Dashboard

Users with Admin permission can create and edit interactive Dashboards in Orbit, configuring visualisations to suit desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile devices.

To create or edit a Dashboard you must use a screen with resolution greater than 1280px

To create meaningful views of your data, you should consider the following:

  • Who is the intended user of the information?
  • Why do they need the information?
  • How do they want or need to access the data?
  • What types of visualisation are most effective to communicate the required information?

The name you allocate to a Dashboard is the user’s immediate means of understanding its purpose and scope; clear definition will also help you to build an effective data display.

You can copy an existing dashboard using the duplicate button.
