Dashboards
Helix Plan dashboards provide real-time data to help you and your team make just-in-time decisions. They help you view relevant Helix Plan data and visualize it in a way that makes it actionable and accessible to your team. See Working with dashboard pages.
Dashboards are available in the Dashboards area of Helix Plan and consist of pages and charts.
Pages
You can build multiple dashboard pages that display your data as metrics using different chart types. Dashboard pages can contain multiple charts. See Adding dashboard pages.

Charts

Getting started with dashboards
If Helix Plan dashboards are new to you, the best way to get started is to view the example dashboard pages and charts included with Helix Plan. You can easily add these dashboards to your project to explore them. See Example dashboard page templates.
If there is an example page that is a good starting point for a dashboard you want to use, rename the page and edit the chart settings to show data relevant to you and your team. See Renaming dashboard pages and Editing dashboard charts and item views.
If there is a specific chart on an example page you want to use, add a new dashboard page and clone the chart to it. See Cloning dashboard charts and item views. Next, edit the chart settings to show data you want to see. See and Editing dashboard charts and item views.
