# 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.

Dashboard Designer
{% endembed %}

{% 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).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://academy.pentaho.com/pentaho-business-analytics/business-analytics/dashboard-designer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
