Overview

Dashboards provide a personalized and powerful way to access key features, monitor data, and track activities related to your tasks, datasets, and other resources within the application. They offer a centralized view, allowing you to quickly understand the state of your data and infrastructure. When you first log in, you'll be greeted by your default dashboard. This dashboard is pre-configured to provide a general overview of your data and resources.

Insights merged into Dashboards (v3.0)

Starting with Amorphic 3.0, Insights are no longer a standalone module. As part of the upgrade from 2.7 to 3.0, Insights were merged into Dashboards. Use the Insights Details widget on a dashboard to monitor Jobs, Dataset Metrics, Data Pipelines, and Dataflow runs.

No action is required from users. During the upgrade, existing Insights are automatically moved into Dashboards.

For regular users, the dashboard displays the following charts:

For admin users, the dashboard displays the following charts:

Users can create custom dashboards as per their preference and switch between them.

Human readable URLs

Custom dashboard URLs include the dashboard name so you can tell which dashboard you are viewing without relying on a UUID.

When you open a dashboard, the browser address looks like:

/dashboards/SalesOverview-<unique-id>/details

• The first part comes from the dashboard name (spaces and special characters are removed).
• The last part is a short unique identifier so dashboards with similar names stay distinct.

You can bookmark or share this URL to return to the same dashboard. Creating, viewing, updating, and deleting a dashboard continue to work from the human-readable URL.

Note

• If you rename a dashboard, the readable part of the URL updates to match the new name. Use the updated URL after a rename.
• New dashboards get a human-readable URL when they are created. Existing dashboards get one the next time they are saved.
