Dashboards and analyses

A dashboard shows saved reports side by side over one date range. An analysis is a written answer from chat that keeps the exact queries behind its numbers. A share link shows a dashboard or an analysis to someone who has no Datalyr login. All three sit under Reports, in the tabs Cards, Dashboards, and Analyses. They belong to the workspace, so every member sees the same ones.

Build a dashboard

Open Dashboards

Open Reports and select the Dashboards tab.

Create it

Select new dashboard and type a name.

Add cards

Select add card. Pick a saved report, or create a new one.

Set the range

Pick a range in the header. Select Set as default to keep it for every member.

A card points to a saved report. It never copies it. Edit the report once, and every dashboard that shows it changes, along with the Cards tab. A report you create from add card also appears on the Cards tab.

From	How
The `Cards` tab	Kebab menu → Add to dashboard…. Pick a dashboard, or New dashboard.
AI chat	Add to dashboard, next to `Saved to Reports · Open`

Arrange the cards

Action	How
Reorder	Drag a card. The order changes for every member.

Size	Width on a wide screen	Default for
S	A third of the row	Metric tiles
M	Half the row	`Line`, `Area`, `Bar`, `Breakdown`, `Donut`
L	The full row	`Funnel`

On a phone, every card takes the full row.

Range

Every card runs over the dashboard’s one range. A range you pick applies to your view until you select Set as default.

Setting	Values
Range	Today, yesterday, last 7, 14, 30, or 90 days, this week, this month, last month, or a custom range up to 400 days

Filters from agents

The dashboard page has no filter control. An agent can still set up to 10 filters on a dashboard over the API or MCP. Filters apply only to query cards whose metrics can take that dimension. Every other card runs unfiltered and shows the badge filters not applied. Hover over the badge to read the reason.

Card	Filters
A query card whose metrics take the dimension	Applied, together with the card’s own filters
A query card whose metrics do not take the dimension	Not applied
A catalog card	Not applied
A funnel card	Not applied

Save an analysis from chat

An analysis holds a title, a Markdown body, the reports it shows, and the queries behind its numbers. You make one from an answer in AI chat.

Ask in chat

Open Reports, select the Analyses tab, and select ask in chat. Or open the chat from the sidebar.

Save the answer

When an answer that ran a query finishes, select Save as analysis under it.

Open it

Select Open in Saved · Open. The analysis is also on the Analyses tab.

We save the answer’s text and every query it ran. Each query keeps the exact dates the answer covered, so the analysis shows the same numbers later. See Save an answer as an analysis.

Edit an analysis

Select Edit on an analysis. Change the title, or the body in Markdown on the Write tab. Attach report inserts ::report[<id>] at the cursor. Select the Preview tab to check it. An embed sits alone on its line. Its report id must be one of the analysis’s attached reports.

The new link is already copied. It appears at the top of the list, marked new.

The link has the form https://www.datalyr.com/share/<token>. The page needs no login, and search engines do not index it.

The public page shows	The public page hides
The object’s name and its saved range, in a header that stays at the top. A long name ends in `…`; hover to read it.	The workspace icon and name, unless `Show workspace name` was ticked
Each card’s chart and numbers	Report definitions, workspace ids, and who created the object
An analysis body, its cards, and How this was calculated	Values of `property:` filters. They show as `(hidden)`.

The first 50 rows of a breakdown	A range picker. The range is fixed.

A card on the public page can be up to 5 minutes old. The footer’s updated time says how old. The page shows the object as it is now, so a rename or an edited report shows on the next load. The page follows the viewer’s light or dark system setting. The sun or moon button in the header switches it, and the browser remembers the choice for every shared page.

Manage links

The Share popover lists every link to the object.

Column	Shows
Hint	The last 4 characters of the token. copy next to an active link copies its URL again.
created, expires	When the link was made, and when it stops working
views, last viewed	Every page load except link prefetches. We store no IP address or browser.
