Templates help you save time by reusing proven dashboard and Report layouts. Instead of starting from scratch, you can use a template, select data sources, and customize it to your needs. This makes reporting more efficient and consistent across your team.

Use a template

You can use both public templates (available to all Databox users) and lock account templates (created and visible only within your account).

For dashboards

To use a dashboard template:

  1. Go to the Dashboards page.
  2. Click the drop-down arrow (chevron-down) next to the + New dashboard button.
  3. Choose either Use Account Template or Use Public Template.
  4. Hover over the template you want to use and click Use Template.
  5. Select the necessary data sources and customize the dashboard as needed.

For reports

To use a report template:

  1. Go to Reports > Account Templates or Reports > Public Templates.
  2. Hover over the template you want to use and click Use Template.
  3. Customize the report by editing content and adjusting visualizations as needed.

FAQ

Can I customize a template after using it?

Yes. Once you use a template, it becomes a separate dashboard or Report that you can freely edit.

Why can't I find a public template I saw earlier?

Public templates may be removed, replaced, or updated by Databox to ensure they align with best practices, reflect current integrations and metrics, or provide more relevant content. If a specific template is no longer available, it may have been retired or merged with another template.
