Bind Data and Add Scenarios

The first step in creating a dashboard is usually to connect your dashboard to data and then start adding visualizations. You can add visualizations to the dashboard by dragging them from the side bar or using the Visualization Wizard.

First, add datasets and data models to later bind them to visualizations.

Add a Dataset
Click +Add in the Data Binding panel.
Select Your Data
In the Choose Data window, select your dataset or data model, then click OK. Your data is now available in the designer.
Choose a Scenario Type
In the Dashboard Toolbox, go to the Data Visualization tab, and drag a scenario (e.g., Column Chart) onto the design area.
Reposition the Scenario
To reposition the scenario, click the chart, drag it to the desired location, and release the mouse to place it.
Bind Data to the Scenario
The Data Binding Panel opens automatically when the chart is added. Click Choose Data pull-down at the top to select the dataset for the scenario. The data attributes will appear where you can drag and drop them in the scenario data binding slots.
Map Data Fields
Drag and drop fields into the appropriate binding areas.

For example, drag "Fiscal Year" to the Category Axis, and "Sales Amount" to the Value Axis.
Preview Your Chart
The visualization updates automatically based on your selections.

It should resemble the example below.
