Building a Dashboard

A Dashboard in Reekoh is the visual representation of data sent by the device. Using Dashboard Studio, you can build your own dashboard and customize the presentation of data into different visualizations such as tables, graphs, or maps.

Before you can build a dashboard in Reekoh, you must have the following:

• Registered device
• Deployed pipeline with configured dataset

2. Click the Create a new Dashboard option. The Dashboard Studio page displays.
3. Click the Add Visualization button to add a widget on the page.
4. From the widget that displays, click the Configure button. You can also click the Gear icon located on the upper-right corner of the widget to configure the visualization.
5. From the Configure Visualization dialog, enter a name and description for the widget.
6. Select the dataset you want your dashboard to retrieve data from. The Select Visualization and Configure Data sections display.
