Build a dashboard for a question your team needs to answer repeatedly. This walkthrough uses a revenue review: headline numbers, a monthly trend, a category breakdown, and a date filter. ## Before you begin * Your workspace needs a [connected data source](/data-sources/overview). * Choose an agent that can read the relevant tables and understands your business definitions. * You need permission to create dashboards. Adding to an existing dashboard needs **Can create** access and an editing role in the workspace. ## Start with a clear brief 1. Open **Artifacts** in the sidebar and select **New Artifact**. 2. Choose **Dashboard** and enter a name people will recognize. 3. Describe the audience, metrics, period, and filters. Choose a project if the dashboard belongs with other work. 4. Select **Build with AI** to continue in the Analyst. New Artifact form with Dashboard selected and a revenue-review brief Create a dashboard for our monthly revenue review. Show net revenue, return amounts, and refunds as headline metrics; compare them by month; and add a table by product category. Use USD. Add date filters and explain which date each metric uses. Ask me if the definition of net revenue is unclear. You can also choose **Dashboard** beneath the Home message box, or ask for a dashboard in a chat that already contains your analysis. ## Review the result Open the dashboard card in the conversation. Check one part at a time: 1. **Definitions:** does revenue include discounts, canceled orders, or refunds? 2. **Dates:** does each metric use the intended event date? 3. **Totals:** do the headline numbers agree with the supporting tables? 4. **Filters:** does changing a value affect the intended widgets? 5. **Readability:** can a teammate understand the page without reading the chat? Ask for specific changes in the same conversation: “Move the three headline metrics to the top,” “Use completed orders only,” or “Add a note explaining the return-date filter.” Revenue dashboard with category and date filters, four KPI cards, and a monthly comparison chart ## Build it manually instead Choose **Build Manually** in the creation form. Use **Insert Chart**, **Insert Table**, or **Insert KPI** in the bottom toolbar, then select an existing result or describe the widget you need. Add text for definitions and [filters](/dashboards/filters/how-to-add-filters-to-your-dashboard) for the slices people will explore. Follow [Add widgets and edit the layout](/dashboards/how-to/edit-a-dashboard) for the full editing and saving workflow. ## Expected result The dashboard appears in **Artifacts → Dashboards** and in the selected project's **Artifacts** tab. You can reopen it and use its filters without editing its design. ## Next steps [Check the data behind a number](/dashboards/how-to/explore-dashboard-data), then [share the dashboard](/dashboards/how-to/share-a-dashboard) with the right access level.
