Create Powerful Dashboards and Stories

A Dashboard is a composition of multiple Worksheets but also other objects, such as Container, Text, and Image. The goal of a Dashboard is to provide insights on a regular basis, with each update. A Story is a composition of Worksheets and Dashboards. You can use a Story to do a presentation, or if you've found an interesting story in your data and you want to tell it with Story points and captions.

In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:

  • Dashboard basics
  • Tiled, Floating, and Container Layouts
  • Dashboard Actions
  • Create a Story

Before starting with the Dashboard basics, let's configure our work environment.
