A dashboard is a data canvas — aggregate AI Table data across dimensions and visualize with column, bar, line, and other charts to support business decisions.
⚠️ Note: with advanced permissions off, anyone with edit permission can create and edit dashboards; with advanced permissions on, only the AI Table owner and users with manage permission can create and edit dashboards.
Common scenarios:
  • Operations data overview: visualize ops data on dashboards — monitor change trends at a glance.
  • Real-time project tracking: view key project metrics on mobile in real time — decide faster.

Create a dashboard

Create a new dashboard:
  1. Click Apps at the top — open the AI Table app.
  2. In the lower-left, click + New app.
  3. In the menu, pick Dashboard.
Add a chart: In the upper-left, click Add chart — pick a chart type from the menu. For a brand-new dashboard, you can also pick AI generate to build it.

Configure a dashboard

This page focuses on configuring column, line, scatter, area, bar, and pie charts. For other charts, see their dedicated pages.

Configure type and data

Column / line / scatter / area / bar (XY-axis charts)

Data: pick source — table and data range. All data enables filters. Chart: switch chart type, pick a color theme. X-axis: pick the X field, sort basis (X value, Y value, or record order), and order. Y-axis: aggregation (count of records or aggregated field value), Y content, and group aggregation. With “count of records”: only set group aggregation (none or by field). With “aggregated field value”: no grouping → multiple Y fields, each with its own aggregation (count, sum, average, max, etc.). Remove/move up/down per Y. Grouping → one Y field with one aggregation. Note: with grouping, X can’t sort by Y value. Sorting details: You can sort in three places:
  • X-axis content
    • Reorder X items by:
      • X value: based on the X field’s own value — numeric, alphabetical, single/multi-select option order.
      • Y value: based on Y numeric value.
      • Record order: drag freely to set order.
    • Sort order: ascending or descending.
  • Multi-Y sorting: with multiple Y fields, drag to reorder them.
  • Group aggregation items: with a grouping field set, drag to reorder grouped items.
Notes:
  1. Sum, max, min, average only apply to numeric fields.
  2. The bar chart’s X/Y are swapped vs. column chart — Y configuration on a bar chart matches X configuration on a column chart.
  3. With group aggregation, X-axis can’t sort by Y value.
  4. With X sort basis = record order (custom), no order setting is available.

Pie chart

Data: pick the pie chart’s source — table and data range. All data enables filters. Chart: switch chart type, pick a color theme. Sectors: pick the sector field and sort basis. Sector field value: sort by the sector field’s value — numeric, alphabetical, single/multi-select option order. Sector value: sort by the sector’s numeric value. Sector value: count of records or aggregated field value.

Custom style

Customize background, legend, axes, etc. — make it yours.

Manage a dashboard

Hover over a chart — find the icon in the upper-right. Click for: configure, rename, copy, add to dashboard center, copy as image, export as image, delete. Drag the lower-right corner to resize. Drag the top to reposition.

Permissions

Advanced permissions off

Dashboard permissions follow the AI Table file’s permissions — owner, manage, and edit users can create, edit, and delete dashboards; read-only users can only view.

Advanced permissions on

Only the owner and users with manage permission can edit dashboards; other users can only have view or no access.
  • View: collaborators in this group can only view the dashboard’s data and charts.
  • No access: collaborators in this group can’t view the dashboard.
🧤 Dashboard permissions are independent of table permissions — table permission settings don’t affect dashboard permissions.

A: Count of records works on any field type. Max, min, average, and sum work only on number fields and formula fields.

Q: Can I use AI Table dashboards on mobile?

A: Mobile supports viewing dashboards and widgets but not creating dashboards or adding/editing/deleting widgets.

Q: Can I create dashboards across AI Tables?

A: Not currently — dashboards can’t span multiple AI Tables.

Q: Can AI Table dashboards be downloaded?

A: AI Table dashboards don’t currently support download.

Q: Can I combine widgets from multiple AI Tables into one dashboard?

A: No — widgets from different AI Tables can’t be merged into the same dashboard.
