What is a dashboard?
A Cloudera Data Visualization dashboard is a collection of multiple visuals with the option to apply filters to them. You can use dashboards to consolidate related visualizations. For example, you can display and link visuals that are based on different datasets across different connections while offering run-time filtering on all referenced information.
Once you have created a dashboard, you can add visuals and filter controls, fine-tune settings and styles, and incorporate custom design elements to tailor the dashboard to your specific requirements. You can use sheets to organize the visuals on your dashboards.
Sheets
A sheet functions as the ‘canvas’ or a single page within a dashboard where you can design and display visualizations. Dashboards can contain one or more sheets, with each serving as a container for organizing and presenting specific sets of visual elements. Sheets allow users to organize information in a structured and meaningful way, providing a clear layout for data exploration and analysis.
Sheets give you the flexibility to consolidate all pertinent information about a dataset, a line of inquiry, or a business on a single screen while also providing quick access to related or supplemental visualizations on other sheets. The arrangement of sheets is entirely customizable to meet your unique needs and preferences.
By default, sheets are named Sheet 1, Sheet 2, and so on, but you can assign more descriptive names to your sheets to enhance clarity.
Each sheet is also assigned a unique identifier, visible in the sheet’s URL. This ID serves as a reference point, helping users to easily distinguish between different sheets within one dashboard.
