# Build, Customize, and Share Dashboards in Saytics

> Saytics dashboards let you visualize event data, track key metrics, and share insights with your team. Learn how to create and customize them.

Dashboards are where your event data becomes visible and actionable. In Saytics, a dashboard is a collection of widgets — charts, counters, and tables — each drawing from your events and user data. You can build dashboards for any purpose: monitoring signups, tracking revenue, understanding feature adoption, or reviewing how users move through your product.

## Dashboard types

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Overview" icon="chart-bar">
    An auto-generated summary of your product's activity. Shows your top events by volume, active user counts, and trend lines over time. Every Saytics workspace gets an Overview dashboard by default.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Funnels" icon="filter">
    Visualize conversion between a sequence of events. For example, track how many users move from `Page Viewed` to `Trial Started` to `Subscription Activated`. Funnels show where users drop off.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Retention" icon="rotate-right">
    Measure how often users return to your product after a triggering event. Retention dashboards help you understand whether your product keeps users engaged over days, weeks, or months.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Custom" icon="sliders">
    Build any chart from any combination of events, properties, and user segments. Custom dashboards give you full control over what you measure and how it is displayed.
  </Card>

## Creating a dashboard

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Dashboards in the sidebar">
    Click **Dashboards** in the left navigation. You will see your existing dashboards listed here.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click New Dashboard">
    Select **New Dashboard** in the top-right corner of the Dashboards page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Give it a name and choose a template">
    Enter a name for your dashboard. Then choose a starting template: **Blank**, **Funnel**, or **Retention**. Templates pre-configure the layout — you can customize everything afterward.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add widgets by clicking + Add Widget">
    Each widget is a single chart or metric. Click **+ Add Widget** to open the widget builder.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure each widget with an event, metric, and time range">
    In the widget builder, select the event you want to analyze, choose a metric type (count, unique users, sum of a property, etc.), and set a time range. A preview updates as you make changes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and share the URL with teammates">
    Click **Save** when your dashboard is ready. Copy the URL from your browser to share it directly, or use the sharing options described below.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Sharing dashboards

Every dashboard has a shareable URL. By default, dashboards are visible only to members of your workspace. You can change this in the dashboard's **Share** settings:

* **Team-only** (default) — visible to anyone in your Saytics workspace
* **Public link** — anyone with the URL can view the dashboard without logging in; useful for sharing with stakeholders who do not have a Saytics account

To manage who has access to your workspace, see [team settings](/account/team).

<Tip>
  Pin frequently used dashboards to the sidebar by clicking the star icon next to the dashboard name. Pinned dashboards appear at the top of your sidebar for quick access.
