Business & Enterprise Plans can create Unlimited Dashboards. Start by creating a Dashboard using the "Create Dashboard" button on the top right menu. You can create a blank dashboard, or pick from a range of dashboard templates available to get started. > Tip: If you have deployed pre-built analytics templates, refer to the analytic template description for corresponding Dashboard templates that work with the analytics you have deployed. Once created, you can Rename, Duplicate or Delete the Dashboard using the context menu in the Dashboard list in the left navigation.

# Filtering dashboard data and media All the data in a Dashboard can be filtered by one or more of these attributes: * Time : Select a start date and end date, a particular timezone or a preset to filter by time * Gateway : Select a gateway to filter data to that generated by a specific Gateway * Source Labels : Select a Label to filter data to that generated by analytics running on sources that are tagged with that Label or it's descendants. You can create labels and tag sources under the Deploy section. This is a very powerful capability since it lets you visualize a single Dashboard by your custom hierarchy (such as by Region, Customer or Area).

# Widgets Each Dashboard consists of Widgets that you add and configure.

Widgets can be resized and dragged to create the perfect layout using the "Edit Layout" button on the Dashboard.

Widget properties can be updated from the Widget context menu. You can easily Duplicate or remove widgets from here as well.

## Data A Data widget visualizes analytics metadata that has been published from a [Pipeline](https://docs.lumeo.com/docs/pipeline) using a [Publish to Lumeo Dashboard](https://docs.lumeo.com/docs/publish-to-lumeo-dashboard-node) Node.

> 🚧 Plan Restrictions > > The [Publish to Lumeo Dashboard](https://docs.lumeo.com/docs/publish-to-lumeo-dashboard-node) node that is needed to publish data for this widget is available only on Enterprise Plans. ### Publish to Lumeo Dashboard Node Configuration The [Publish to Lumeo Dashboard](https://docs.lumeo.com/docs/publish-to-lumeo-dashboard-node) Node can publish 3 types of metadata to the Dashboard. See Node documentation for how to configure it. {`

Metadata Type	Description	When to Use
Node Metadata	This includes Node-specific metadata such as Line Counter Node's line crossing metadata or Occupancy Monitor node's occupancy metadata. Refer to Node's documentation for information on what metadata is published to the Dashboard.	Use it to publish Node-specific stats such as line crossings, or occupancy numbers.
Object Attributes Metadata	This includes object types and object attributes that are added to an object by AI Model Node or specific Recognition nodes.	Use it to capture and display attributes (such as license plate numbers, vehicle types, barcode values, colors, etc.) Note that if you are just trying to count object attributes you are better served by using the Node Metadata instead of publishing Object Attributes.
Event Metadata	This publishes an event to the Dashboard (ex using a Trigger an Event node) every time specific Trigger Conditions are met.	Use it to publish counts of custom events that are not already being published by Node metadata -- such as a car making an illegal left turn.

Metadata Type

Description

When to Use

Node Metadata

This includes Node-specific metadata such as Line Counter Node's line crossing metadata or Occupancy Monitor node's occupancy metadata. Refer to Node's documentation for information on what metadata is published to the Dashboard.

Use it to publish Node-specific stats such as line crossings, or occupancy numbers.

Object Attributes Metadata

This includes object types and object attributes that are added to an object by AI Model Node or specific Recognition nodes.

Use it to capture and display attributes (such as license plate numbers, vehicle types, barcode values, colors, etc.)

Note that if you are just trying to count object attributes you are better served by using the Node Metadata instead of publishing Object Attributes.

Event Metadata

This publishes an event to the Dashboard (ex using a Trigger an Event node) every time specific Trigger Conditions are met.

Use it to publish counts of custom events that are not already being published by Node metadata -- such as a car making an illegal left turn.

`} ### Visualization Options

The Data widget offers the following visualization options: {`

Configuration Option	Option Value	Description
Metric	Event Count	Count the number of Events published using the Event Metrics properties of the Publish to Lumeo Dashboard node.
	Object Attribute Count & Object Attribute Count (Distinct)	Count the number of Object attributes published using the Object Attribute Metrics properties of the Publish to Lumeo Dashboard node.
	Node Records Count	Count the number of Node Metrics published using the Node Metrics properties of the Publish to Lumeo Dashboard node.
	<Node Specific Metadata Aggregations> ex. Occupancy : Object Entered Sum Line Counter: Total Objects Crossed Sum	For each supported Node type, a Metric that aggregates specific node data is listed here. Typically, this is used along with a Metric-specific Dimension or Filter, with suggestions available in those dropdowns.
Display Type	Bar
	Line
	Stacked Bar Chart
	Grouped Bar Chart
	Leaderboard
	Heatmap
	Table
	Pie
	Number
Granularity	HOUR, MINUTE, DAY, MONTH, FIVE_MINUTES, FIFTEEN_MINUTES	Time granularity to use for Time displays (Bar, Stacked Bar and Line).
Dimensions	Common: Source ID, Source Name, Gateway ID, Gateway Name, Pipeline ID, Pipeline Name, Deployment ID, Deployment Name, Source Type, Metrics Tag Metric-specific Dimensions (such as Line Label, ROI Label, Event Type)	Series values to use for Stacked Bar, Leaderboard and Table displays.
Row Limit	Numeric. Ex. 10	Maximum number of rows/series values for Stacked Bar, Leaderboard, Table displays.
Sort	Ascending, Descending	Sort order to use
Filters	Common: Source ID, Source Name, Gateway ID, Gateway Name, Pipeline ID, Pipeline Name, Deployment ID, Deployment Name, Source Type, Metrics Tag Metric-specific Filters (such as Line Label, ROI Label, Event Type)	Filter the metadata being displayed using these conditions to limit to a specific source, pipeline, line, ROI or Metrics Tag.

`} ## Stream Stream Widget displays a RTSP or WebRTC stream output from a pipeline with a [Stream RTSP](https://docs.lumeo.com/docs/stream-rtsp-node) node or [Stream WebRTC Node](https://docs.lumeo.com/docs/stream-webrtc-node).

| Configuration Option | Option Value | Description | | :--------------------------- | :------------ | :---------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Show Online Streams Only** | True/False | If True, only display online WebRTC streams. | | **Filters** | Gateway ID | Display WebRTC Streams being processed by the specified Gateways. | | | Deployment ID | Display WebRTC Streams output by specified Deployments. | | | Stream ID | Display WebRTC Streams specified by these Stream IDs | | | Stream name | Display WebRTC streams whose names contain specific text. | ## Files Files Widget displays recordings generated by [Save Clip Node](https://docs.lumeo.com/docs/save-clip-node) and [Save Snapshot Node](https://docs.lumeo.com/docs/save-snapshot-node) that match a specific filter criteria, making it easy to shortlist files for review. For each file, the widget displays the Pipeline and Source that generated the file. Clicking on a file in the Files widget plays it immediately in the browser.
