You can create a custom dashboard by adding the out-of-the-box widgets in the widget library and creating and adding custom query-based widgets.

1. Navigate to the Dashboards page.
2. Click Create Dashboard.
   A blank untitled dashboard is displayed with the About, Widgets, and Filters tabs on the right.
3. Optionally, in the upper-right side of the dashboard, select the duration of time for which you want to display data in the widgets in the dashboard. You can click the icons adjacent to the time selector to edit or delete it.
4. Click the About tab, specify a name for the dashboard, and optionally add a description for the dashboard.
5. Optionally, click the Filters tab, click or drag and drop the filter you want to add to the dashboard, and select an option in the drop-down list to narrow down and view data within the context of the selected option.
6. Click the Widgets tab.
   The list of widgets in the widget library is displayed under Add widgets. You can enter text in the Search... field to view the widgets that have the text in the name or description.

   Optionally, click the Launch widgets table view icon () to view the widget library in a tabular format. On the Widget library table view page, select an option in the Created by drop-down list or enter text in the Search... field to filter the list of widgets and click Apply changes to widget library to view the filtered list in the Widgets tab. For example, in the Widget library table view page, select a user name in the Created by drop-down list, and click Apply changes to widget library to only view the widgets created by that user in the Widgets tab.

7. Add widgets to the dashboard. To do so:
   • Drag and drop an out-of-the-box widget into the dashboard.
   • Click the Add widget group and widgets icon () in the Widgets tab and click Create query-based widget to create a custom query-based widget. For information, see Creating a Custom Query-based Widget.
   If you are adding an out-of-the-box widget, then you may have to manually configure inputs for relevant data to be displayed. In such cases, the Configure <Name> Input for <Widget Name> (Required) dialog is displayed when you add the widget to the dashboard. This dialog has the following options:

   • Link with an existing filter: Select to link the input to an existing filter in the dashboard. Note that this option is only displayed if a filter related to the input has already been added to the dashboard.
   • Add a new filter: Select to link the input with a filter available in the filter library.
   • Specify the input: Select to specify a fixed value of the input that will be used only in the context of this widget.

   Note:

   Some of the required widget inputs such as Aggregate Target Name are automatically linked to the Aggregate Target Name filter and the Configure <Name> Input for <Widget Name> (Required) dialog is not displayed. For example, when adding the Group - Target Types - Pie widget, you are not prompted to configure inputs for the widget and the Aggregate Target Name filter is automatically added to the filter panel. If you want to make changes to the widget input that is automatically linked to a filter, you can do so in the Edit Widgets tab.

   The Edit Widgets tab on the right displays the details of the widget you have added. This includes the list of required inputs, which are denoted by an asterisk. Some of the inputs are configured when adding the widget and the others may have to be configured by clicking the Edit icon (). On clicking the Edit icon, the Configure <Name> Input for <Widget Name>... dialog is displayed and you have the option of linking the input to an existing filter in the dashboard, adding a new filter, or specifying a fixed value as input.

   If you have added a custom widget, then you have the additional option of clicking Edit Widget to go to the widget builder and edit the input parameters or visualization options.

8. Click Save changes to save the dashboard.
