AI/BI dashboards: pages, datasets, widgets, chart choice
AI/BI dashboards (not legacy)
Build multi-tab / multi-page layouts. The Data tab holds datasets (SQL). The canvas holds widgets: visualizations, text, images. One dataset can feed many widgets if the grain matches. Incompatible grains (daily vs order-line) need two datasets.
You can also create visualizations in notebooks and the SQL editor — the outline lists both, plus AI/BI dashboards.
Chart choice
- KPI / single number → counter
- Trend → line
- Category comparison → bar
- Detail → table
- Avoid decorative 3D pies for a single metric
Genie Code can draft SQL and charts; you still own grain and filters.
