Use the dashboards feature to create a custom view of data from one or more apps, consolidating important information for your app users. You can create multiple dashboards tabs and configure each to display just the data you want to show. Note that dashboards are different from home pages, which provide an overview of a single app.
To create your new dashboard:
In your app, click Settings > Pages > + New Page.
Choose Dashboard. A new empty dashboard appears.
To name your dashboard, hover over the default name (Dashboard...) at the top. Click the pencil icon and rename your dashboard.
Use dashboards to collect and display a wide range of information that can come from inside and outside of Quickbase. Add any of the following elements to your dashboard:
Quickbase reports:
Other Pages in Quickbase
Any web URL
An embedded web page from an application or service
Rich text widgets that contains stylized text, such as a description or title
Search widgets, that you can use to search apps for information
Soon, we’ll also support:
A button that creates records
To add a widget:
Hover over an empty cell in your dashboard and click the plus (+) icon.
Select the kind of widget you want (report, button, web page). The settings for each widget appear on the right.
Click the expand icon
on a widget’s menu or in the upper right of the dashboard to open an expanded view of a widget. Then, use your mouse or keyboard to toggle through the expanded view. Use this mode to look at data on your dashboard more closely, or present out to a team.
Note: You can only expand reports, rich text, and embedded web pages as widgets on your dashboard.
When you add a report to your dashboard, you can add filters that dynamically filter the report results you see. You can use date and text fields from any report that you include on your dashboard. To have a report filter, your dashboard must include a report widget. For example, if your field is manufacturing, you can filter your reports to display all open issues or losses by a specific product line or facility.
Note: When adding filters for text fields, the filter functions like a contains instead of an equals.
To add a filter report:
.To adjust the filter, click it and select another date range or field, then click Apply.
To clear the filters, click Clear all. To revert to the original filter date range, click 
. To remove all the text fields from your filter, click 
.
Add one or many search widgets to a dashboard to quickly access a range of information. You can configure search widgets to display data from tables in any apps you can access.
When you add a search widget, you can select a variety of options to configure the set of information you’d like to search:
Fields — choose from All searchable fields, From a table, Selected fields from a table, or A report
Search type — choose from Allow partial matches, Match exact results, or Allow user to choose
Show results — In a popup window or In a new window
Customization — configure you report with Show title, Show hint text, or Add a color
Add a calendar widget to your dashboard to see events in days, weeks, and month increments. Once you add the widget to your dashboard, you can drag and drop elements to resize them, and use dashboard filters to find specific segments of events. Right now, drag and drop and calendar filters are both features that are only available on the dashboard.
There are a few restrictions to dragging and dropping. Events only resize if:
Both the start and end fields are both standard date or date-time type.
Both start and end fields are formatted allow editing.
They are not derived fields or formula fields. You can’t drag or drop a derived or formula field.
Use tabs to organize your widgets, include more information on your dashboard, and better organize your related widgets.
To organize your dashboard with tabs, click the plus (+) icon to add another tab to your dashboard. To move, rename, or delete the current tab, click the ellipsis (...).
You can assign a dashboard as the homepage for all or some users in your app. This helps surface valuable insights to your users immediately when they enter an app. The process is the same as making an app homepage the default.
You can either:
Associate a dashboard homepage with a particular role – When users with a specific role open the app, the dashboard homepage you assign to their role appears.
Set a dashboard as the default homepage – All users see the default dashboard when they first open your app, unless you have assigned an alternate homepage to a specific role.
To make a dashboard the default homepage for all users:
Click Home, then click Settings.
Click Pages.
Select the checkbox for the dashboard that you want to make the default.
Click Set as Default Home page. The dashboard is now the default homepage for all roles that use the default homepage.
After a page becomes the default homepage, you cannot delete it. Before deleting a default Home page, you must first switch the default to a different page.
When you are finished creating or editing your dashboard, click the lock icon 
(top right). Your dashboard can’t be edited when it’s locked. If you decide to edit your dashboard later, just click the lock icon again.
You can share your dashboard directly to collaborators or publish it on another website, depending on the permission levels you have created. For example, you could share a dashboard that shows facility performance with your colleagues.
To share your dashboard with others, click the share dashboard icon 
(top right).
Audit logs are a way of tracking how users interact with your app. On dashboards, Quickbase tracks when:
When a user visits a dashboard
Which reports a user saw
Updates are made to a dashboard
When new dashboards are created
When dashboards are deleted
This information is available to realm admins in the admin console.
