A dashboard in Backup Radar is a collection of "tiles" that display data from preconfigured sources. Think of the dashboard as your command center, designed to give you "at-a-glance" visibility into your most critical data.

There's no limit to how many dashboards you can create and customize in your Backup Radar account. Follow the steps below to get started!

1. In Backup Radar, navigate to Dashboard to find the Create your first dashboard page.
   

   Note: If you or someone else has already created at least one dashboard in your Backup Radar account, this page will look a little different: Navigate to Dashboard and click the Create Dashboard button at the top instead.

2. You can either Create from scratch or Create from Default template (recommended).
   
    

   To start with a default template, follow these steps:

   a. Select Create from Default template. 
   
   
   b. Name your dashboard anything you'd like, choose your Tile defaults, and click Create.

   The Tile defaults you select will be applied to every pre-built tile in your dashboard, but you can change these settings for each tile as needed.
   
    

   To create your dashboard from scratch, follow these steps:

   a. Select Create from scratch.
   
   
   b. Name your dashboard and click Create.
   

   b. Click the Create Tile button to add your first tile.
   
    

And voila! You've created your first dashboard. Explore the options below to view, customize, and share your dashboard data:

a. Dashboards drop-down menu: Toggle between all the dashboards that have been created in your account.
b. Create Dashboard: Create a new dashboard.
c. Create Tile: Add a new tile to your dashboard.
d. Refresh: Refresh all the data throughout your dashboard. Note that dashboard tiles will also automatically refresh every 15 minutes.
e. Edit: Rename your dashboard.
f. Copy: Create a duplicate of your dashboard.
g. Delete: Delete the entire selected dashboard. This cannot be reversed.
h. Present: Enter Full Screen mode.
i. Sharing: Generate a link that anyone can open to view your dashboard, with or without a Backup Radar account. See Sharing a dashboard for more details.
j. Edit: Edit your selected data for any tile.
k. Delete: Delete any tile. This cannot be reversed.
l. Refresh: Refresh the data for any individual tile.
m. Resize: Click and drag this handle to resize your tile as needed.
n. More details: Click on chart elements and tile items to view more information about your data.
o. Move tile: Click and drag on the title of any tile to move it to a new spot.
p. Add tile: Add data to a new tile. 

Note: If you're a Backup Plans user, you'll be prompted to choose between two categories of data sources when adding data to a new dashboard tile: From Templates or Standalone Jobs or From Backup Plans. Note that each tile can only contain either data from templates or standalone jobs, or data from your Backup Plans.
