      How to create a Databoard

      A Databoard is a dashboard that is made up of Datablocks. All Databoards are optimized for desktop and mobile use. 

      HOW TO

      How to create a new Databoard

      Navigate to the  Databoards page. Click the green + New Databoard button to create a new Databoard. 

      You'll have the option to select Use Wizard or Start Blank. The Wizard will take you through a simple process, similar to the signup flow, that prompts you to select a Data Source and Metrics to immediately populate on the Databoard. If you choose to Start Blank, you will be taken directly to the Designer to create your Databoard from scratch. 

      How to add a Datablock from the Metric Library to a Databoard

      The Metric Library consists of over 3,000 pre-built Datablocks which are combinations of Metrics and Visualizations Types based on the most popular use cases.
