Inventory

Create dashboard content ..

With query-based dashboards, you create content directly within Dashboard Designer by writing SQL queries or using the visual query designer.

This approach offers more flexibility as you can create specific visualizations without needing to build separate reports first. You can directly connect to your data source, write custom queries, and create various components like charts, tables, and metrics.

This method is particularly useful when you need to build dashboards from scratch or when you require specific data views that don't exist in your current reports.

In this workshop we're going to generate the content for an Inventory Dashboard.
