Data Block: Bar Chart
Visualize categorical data using bar charts.
Viewing Dashboard Data
Use the Data panel to see connected tables, inspect their columns, check which blocks use them, and open the source data.
Use the Data panel to see which tables power the current dashboard. From one place, you can check their columns, see how many blocks use each table, and open the table to work with its data.
A quick view of your dashboard data:The Data panel does not change a block's data or filters. It gives you an overview of the table connections that already exist on the dashboard.
How to open the Data panel
Open the dashboard in edit mode, then click Data in the left sidebar. The panel automatically lists every table connected to one or more blocks on this dashboard.
What the Data panel shows
Each table appears once, even when several dashboard blocks use it. Its row gives you the following information and actions:
Table name
Identifies the table connected to your blocks. Click the row to expand or close its column list.
Blocks using it
Shows how many blocks on this dashboard use the table, such as “3 blocks.”
Columns and types
The expanded table shows each available column and whether its data type is Text, Numeric, or Date.
Open table
Opens the table in a new browser tab so you can inspect its data and work with the table without leaving the dashboard editor.
How to connect a table to a block
Connections are made in the block settings, not in the Data panel:
- Select a data block on the dashboard.
- Open its Data tab.
- Use Select Table to choose the workspace table the block should read from.
- Return to the dashboard's Data panel. The connected table and its columns now appear there.
Why is the Data panel empty?:No dashboard block is connected to a table yet. Connect a table to a data block and it will automatically appear here.
