What dashboards are
Dashboards in Analytics let you bring multiple visualizations together in a single view. They help you:
- Track KPIs in one place
- Compare trends and breakdowns side by side
- Monitor data over time
- Create views tailored to different teams (HR, Finance, Ops, etc.)
Dashboards update automatically as underlying data changes.
How to Create a Dashboard from Scratch
This method allows you to build a new dashboard from scratch
Step 1 - Navigate to Analytics
From the left navigation menu, go to Analytics. Select the Dashboards tab.
Note: Please ensure you are using the New Analytics when creating a new dashboard.
Click Create Dashboard > Start from Scratch to build a dashboard with your custom setup.
Step 2 - Add a Report
To get started, add content by inserting reports and adding a text headline to the dashboard.
You can add reports using any of these three options:
- Add a report from templates: Use a preconfigured report built from Deel templates that automatically load your organization’s data.
- Add a saved report: Insert a report that you’ve previously created and saved.
- Create a new report from scratch: Build a new report directly from the dashboard if no suitable report exists.
Each report you add appears as a tile that you can move or customize.
Step 3 - Review and Save Your Dashboard
Add as many report tiles as you need. Give your dashboard a name, icon, and description. Click Save.
Your new dashboard will appear in your Dashboards list, accessible anytime from Analytics.
