What you’ll do
- Create individual views (charts and tables)
- Assemble them into a dashboard
- Share it with your team
Step 1: Create your first view
A view is a single visualization — a chart, table, or KPI card — that answers one specific question.- Go to Views in the Wayak dashboard
- Click New view
- Choose what you want to visualize:
- KPI card
- Chart
- Table
Pick a single metric (e.g. “Revenue this month”). Wayak displays it as a headline number with optional comparison to a previous period.
- Configure filters (e.g. “last 90 days”, “active customers only”)
- Name your view and click Save
Step 2: Build the dashboard
Now combine your views into a single page.- Go to Dashboards in the Wayak dashboard
- Click New dashboard
- Give it a name (e.g. “Sales Performance”, “Ops Overview”)
- Click Add view and select from your saved views
- Arrange the layout — drag views to reorder and resize them
| Position | View | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Top row | Revenue this month | KPI card |
| Top row | New customers this month | KPI card |
| Top row | Active users | KPI card |
| Middle | Revenue over time (12 months) | Line chart |
| Middle | Revenue by region | Bar chart |
| Bottom | Top 10 customers by spend | Table |
- Click Save when you’re happy with the layout
Step 3: Share it
- On your saved dashboard, click Share
- Choose who gets access:
- Specific users — invite by email
- Team — share with an entire team
- Link — generate a shareable URL
- Recipients can view the dashboard with live data — it updates automatically as your data changes
What’s next
You now have a live dashboard built on real data and your semantic layer definitions. From here you can:- Add more views as new questions come up
- Set up a playbook to deliver the dashboard by email or Slack on a schedule
