Dashboards

A Dawiso dashboard gives you an overview of your spaces, applications, and activity. Dawiso includes four predefined dashboards, and administrators can create custom ones.

What a dashboard shows

A dashboard can hold welcome text, rules of conduct, and metrics such as:

• Your favorited objects
• Table of objects and object details
• Your recent activities, including latest changes and updates
• Your team’s KPIs
• Number of objects in a space or application
• Number of data stewards or active users
• Number of objects in the to-do workflow state

Dawiso dashboards

In Dawiso, you can access four predefined dashboards:

Dawiso Overview

A comprehensive snapshot of your Dawiso instance, including total objects, users, and spaces. It also tracks the most searched terms, object statuses, object types, and recent activity.

My Objects

A personalized view of your activity, displaying objects where you are a steward or owner, along with object statuses, types, and a list of your managed objects.

Adoption Dashboard

Insights into user engagement, including the number of active users, power users (those who visited at least 100 pages in the last month), and frequently searched terms. It also highlights the most visited objects over time and the most active users.

Assets Metrics Dashboard

A structured view of business and technical assets, including statistics on business assets, technical objects, documentation, reports, and dashboards. It also tracks asset creation trends over time.

Custom dashboards

In addition to the four predefined dashboards, administrators can create their own named dashboards from customize mode, using the same widget grid as the homepage. A saved dashboard becomes a page in the left navigation.

Create a dashboard

1. On the homescreen, click Customize.
2. In the left navigation, hover between two items until a blue insertion line with a + icon appears, then click it. Where you click sets the new dashboard’s parent. Its exact position within that parent can differ if you have reordered your own left navigation: the new dashboard is then appended after your saved order instead of landing at the clicked spot.
3. Enter a Name and click Create. The empty dashboard opens in edit mode.
4. Click Add widget to add and arrange widgets on the grid.
5. Click Save, then set the Name and choose Public or Private visibility (Public by default). The dashboard installs in the background and opens when ready.

Edit a dashboard

Open the dashboard, click Customize, adjust its widgets, and click Save. Each save creates a new version. If another administrator saved changes while you were editing, Dawiso prompts you to Load current version first.

Delete a dashboard

Open the dashboard, click Customize, then click Delete and confirm. Deletion is blocked while another dashboard is nested under it — move or delete the nested dashboard first. The dashboard’s underlying package is kept under Settings > Packages.

Page permissions

Each dashboard page can be set as Private or Public.

• Private: Visible only to users or groups explicitly granted access. No one, including administrators, can see the dashboard until such access is granted.
• Public (default): Visible to all users with access to the space.

You can grant access per user or group — for both private and public dashboards — with one of two permission levels:

Level	What the user can do
Read	View the dashboard page
Read & Write	View and edit the dashboard page

Set page permissions

1. Open the dashboard page.
2. Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
3. Select Edit permissions.
4. Add users or groups and set their access level.
