Dashboard builder

Build your own dashboards on numbers you already trust.

Describe the dashboard in plain English or build it by hand, on the measures your team already agreed on. The measures behind your charts, tables and KPIs are checked against your own definitions before the dashboard is saved.

Two ways to build

Ask for it, or put it together yourself.

No request queue and no wait. The people who need the dashboard can build it.

Describe it

Say what you want to see

Write the dashboard you need in plain English. The builder lays it out from your measures. If the request is unclear, or the data it needs is not connected, it asks a few short questions first.

  • Refine it with AI
  • Keep the version you like, or go back to an earlier one
Build it yourself

Place each widget on a grid

Pick a widget, choose the measure it shows, and place it on the canvas. Start from a blank page or build on a dashboard you already have.

  • Describe a single widget and let AI fill it in
  • Embed an existing page alongside your widgets

Both ways produce the same result: a dashboard definition that is checked before it is saved or shown.

Why the numbers hold up

Built on your definitions, not on guesses.

A dashboard is only useful if people believe it. The builder works from the same agreed definitions as everything else we deliver.

Your data dictionary

Charts, KPIs and tables are built on measures your team has defined with us. One shared definition per measure, wherever it appears.

Checked before it is saved

A measure that is not in the dictionary is rejected before the dashboard is saved. An advanced table built on a custom query is checked for its source only, so its figures are only as reliable as the query.

Questions, not invented numbers

When a request is ambiguous or needs data that is not connected, the AI asks instead of filling the gap.

Clear about scope

When you filter the page by customer, each chart, table and KPI is tagged with whether it follows that filter or shows the company-wide figure.

What goes on a dashboard

From a single number to the detail behind it.

Mix headline figures, trends and detail on one page, in your brand, in light or dark mode.

KPI Period compare Bar chart Line chart Donut chart Stacked bar Table Pivot table with expand to detail Timeline Threshold callout Title and text Image Link Embedded page

Tables export to CSV when the numbers need to go into a spreadsheet.

Slice and drill

Ask the next question from the dashboard itself.

One filter for the page

Pick a customer once and every widget that supports it follows.

The time window you need

Last 7, 30 or 90 days, year to date, or a custom date range, on the measures that support them.

Click through

Click a value to filter the page, open another dashboard already scoped to it, or follow a link.

Share with controls

Yours first. Shared when it is ready.

01

Your own launchpad

Publish a dashboard to your own launchpad as soon as it is useful to you.

02

Reviewed before it is shared

Sharing with a team or group goes through an admin review first.

03

Your sign-in groups

Access follows the sign-in groups your company already uses, enforced on the server.

Where it fits

Part of the platform, on your own definitions.

We offer the builder to every client as part of The Decisive Element platform. It works on the measures we define with you, so it is available in your portal once your data dictionary and the builder connection are set up. See how an engagement starts.

Your existing systems stay the system of record. Dashboards show your data; they do not change it or create a competing master record.

Questions

What people ask about the builder.

Do we need to learn a new tool?

No. Describe the dashboard you want in plain English and the builder lays it out for you. If you would rather arrange it yourself, place widgets on a grid and pick the measure each one shows.

Can the AI make up numbers?

Not in charts, KPIs or tables built on your measures. Each one has to use a measure your team has defined, and a measure that is not in your data dictionary is rejected before the dashboard is saved. An advanced table built on a custom query is the exception: only its source is checked, not the figures the query returns. Text you add to a dashboard is shown as you wrote it. When the data a request needs is not connected, the builder asks instead of guessing.

Who can see what I build?

You, to start: a published dashboard goes to your own launchpad. Sharing it with a team goes through an admin review, and access follows the sign-in groups your company already uses, enforced on the server.

Can we get the data out?

Yes. Tables on a dashboard can be exported to CSV, so the same numbers can go into a spreadsheet when you need them there.

Who is the builder for?

We offer it to every client. The builder is part of The Decisive Element platform and works on the measures we define with you, so it is available in your portal once your data dictionary and the builder connection are set up.
