Canvas Dashboards

After logging into Rill Cloud, you should see all projects within your organization that is available and/or has been granted permissions to your user profile. Within each project, you'll then be able to access the corresponding individual dashboards that belong to a particular Rill project.

Similar to our Explore dashboards, Canvas Dashboards also include a similar navigation bar to control the dashboard components.

  • Time Selector and Time Selector Comparison: You can change the period of analysis to different ranges of time (see red box), either by selecting from a pre-defined period (such as last week) or choosing a custom date range. Along with this, you can enable a comparison filter to compare range of dates with 1 click.

  • Filtering: Underneath the time selector, you'll also be able to find your filter bar (see orange box) where you can add filters for metrics (e.g. campaigns>1000) or for dimensions (e.g. campaign_name = Instacart).

identical names in metrics views

If your dimensions or measures have the same name in your metrics view, filters will apply to all components, regardless if it's in a different metrics view.
