Dashboards

Dashboards allow you to design a layout for data and datasets in your workspace. These are fully customizable and render custom HTML and CSS, letting you format them as required.

You can create dashboards of your datasets in the Matataika app, by defining a few settings and then providing your dashboard content in your workspace’s workspace.yml file.

Example workspace.yml: 

version: workspaces/v0.1
default_environment: dev
app_properties:
  WELCOME_DATASET_ALIAS: welcome
  DASHBOARD_PAGE_TITLE: Data Observability Dashboard
  DASHBOARD_CONTENT: |-
    <div style={{'display':'flex', 'padding-bottom': '30px', 'justify-content': 'center'}}>
        <div style={{'border-right': '2px solid #D3D3D3'}}>
            <h2>Test results breakdown</h2>
            <DatasetChart alias="data-observability/test-results-breakdown"/>
        </div>
        <div>
            <h2>Tables health</h2>
            <DatasetLink alias="data-observability/table-health-breakdown">
                <DatasetChart alias="data-observability/tables-health" />
            </DatasetLink>
        </div>
    </div>
