BI dashboards

Last updated 10/03/2026

A BI dashboard is a tool that combines data processing, chart creation, and personalized composition and layout to deliver rich visualizations around a specific topic.

In a BI dashboard, you can use SQL to process data within the project and data from the DataOps Platform into the data your visualizations need, which is called a sheet. With the sheets you create, you can design different charts and arrange them across different pages. Combined with components such as filters, images, and web pages, they tell a polished, rigorous, and complete data story.
