Dashboards

Overview

This topic explains how to use the product analytics Dashboards tab, and what information that tab contains. The Dashboards tab shows you analytics and information for different types of activity. You can also use this tab to create new dashboards.

The Dashboards tab is where you can start performing deep analysis of your product data. You can create dashboards to track user behavior and other information, and you can see the dashboards created by other people in your organization.

The Dashboards tab

Click any existing dashboard to open it. You can also search by typing in the box to find a specific dashboard.

The Dashboards tab is displayed with multiple columns. They are:

• Dashboard name: The name of a specific dashboard.
• Last modified: Shows how recently the contents of this cohort changed.
• Created by: Shows who from your LaunchDarkly account created this dashboard.

Click the three-dot overflow menu to delete a dashboard.

Create a dashboard from charts and blocks

Create new dashboards from the Dashboard tab. Dashboards are comprised of charts. There are different types of charts:

• Trends: Let you track trends in event data over time.
• Funnels: Let you track how users progress through a series of events.
• Retention: Let you track how users stay or do not stay engaged with your product over time.
• Stickiness: Let you track if users repeat a specific action over time, which indicates which events bring users back to your product.
• Flows: Let you track the most common sequences of events your users perform.

You can also customize your dashboard’s UI by adding blocks of text, embedded content, or data from another dashboard.
