    Dashboards contain a combination of visual elements to show data.

    Data visualization
    Data visualizations enable you to present a visual representation of current instance data or temporary data that you’ve imported. Data visualizations include visualizations that you create in the dashboard designer and data visualizations from the library.
    Important:
    You cannot place reports or Performance Analytics widgets on a Platform Analytics dashboard. You must create data visualizations instead.
    Filter
    Filters enable users to filter the visualizations on a dashboard based on specified criteria. You can put filters either on the individual tabs or above the tabs so that the filter applies to elements every tab. Filters include both data filters and domain filters. You can create filters in the dashboard designer or select them from the library.
    Filter group
    A filter group is a set of filters that you can apply simultaneously. Use when you have multiple filters that can apply to multiple visualizations.
    Heading
    Headings provide a place for text at the top of a dashboard or section of a dashboard. Formatting for headings is limited to six heading levels.
    Image
    Image elements hold static or animated images on the dashboard.
    Process Mining - Map
    Map the different states that are part of your process and the transitions between those states. See which states the objects of the process are in and the speed with which they change state. Requires an existing Process Mining project.
    List
    Lists show table records. They support Platform Analytics filters and drilling down from data visualizations by default.
    Rich text
    Rich text elements hold text that you can format either as text or as html, including font selection, text size, highlighting, and hyperlinks. Note that to edit in HTML markup, you open the HTML editor in the Configuration panel, and select the code tag icon < >.

    Default element dimensions

    Each element has a default height and width when you place it on the stage to configure. Select and drag an element's handlebar to resize it.
