# Dashboard Designer

{% hint style="info" %}
Creating a dashboard in Dashboard Designer is as simple as selecting a layout template, theme, and the content you want to display. In addition to displaying content generated from action sequences, Interactive Reporting, and Analyzer, Dashboard Designer can also include:

  • **Charts**: simple bar, line, area, pie, and dial charts created with Chart Designer.

  • **Data Tables**: tabular data.

  • **URLs**: Web sites that you want to display in a dashboard panel.

{% hint style="info" %}
Dashboard Designer also has dynamic filter controls, which enables end-users to change a dashboard's details by selecting different values from a drop-down list, and to control the content in one dashboard panel by changing the options in another (content linking).
