Create NocoDB dashboards and share them with your team.

Use dashboards in NocoDB to visualize data from your tables with charts, graphs, and metric widgets. A dashboard shows key insights to stakeholders in an interactive interface that you can configure.

### Managing Dashboards

The dashboard context menu has these actions:

| Action                  | What it does                                                                                                               |
| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Rename dashboard**    | Changes the dashboard name.                                                                                                |
| **Edit description**    | Adds or updates the dashboard description. The description shows when you hover over the `i` icon in the dashboard header. |
| **Duplicate dashboard** | Creates a copy of the dashboard.                                                                                           |
| **Delete dashboard**    | Removes the dashboard.                                                                                                     |

### Sharing Dashboards

To share a dashboard publicly:

1. In the top navigation bar, click **Share**.
2. Turn on the `Enable Public Viewing` option.
3. Copy the link.

All people with this link can see the dashboard. They do not need a NocoDB account.

<img alt="Share dashboard" src={__img4} placeholder="blur" />

You can also:

* Set a custom URL for your dashboard.
* Set a password to control access.

Dashboard sharing works like view sharing. Refer to [sharing views](/docs/product/tables/views/share-view).

## Dashboard Layout

1. **Top Navigation Bar**: Breadcrumbs and dashboard actions. Use it to switch between the dashboard **View** and **Edit** modes. You can also **Share** the dashboard with team members.
2. **Widget Bar**: The toolbar at the top. It shows the widget types that you can add to the dashboard.
3. **Dashboard Canvas**: The main area that holds the widgets. NocoDB uses a flexible grid layout. Drag and drop widgets to put them where you want.
4. **Widget Configuration Panel**: The right panel. Use it to configure the properties of the selected widget.
