Dashboards

Dashboards in SetGet are customizable canvases where you arrange widgets to visualize the metrics that matter most to your team. Instead of navigating between analytics pages, build a dashboard that shows everything in one place: cycle burndowns, priority distributions, assignee workloads, completion trends, and more.

Creating a dashboard

  1. Go to Analytics > Dashboards in the workspace sidebar.
  2. Click Create Dashboard.
  3. Enter a name and optional description.
  4. Click Create.

The new dashboard opens in edit mode, ready for widgets.

Dashboard layout

Grid system

Dashboards use a responsive grid system. Widgets can be:

  • Resized -- drag the bottom-right corner to change the widget's width and height.
  • Repositioned -- drag the widget header to move it to a different position.
  • Full width -- stretch a widget across the entire dashboard width.

Layout modes

ModeDescription
Edit modeResize, reposition, add, remove, and configure widgets
View modeRead-only view with live data

Toggle between modes with the Edit / Done button in the top toolbar.

Responsive behavior

On smaller screens, widgets stack vertically in a single column. The grid reflows automatically.

Widget data refresh

Widgets display live data. The refresh behavior:

TriggerDescription
Page loadData is fetched when the dashboard is opened
Manual refreshClick the refresh icon on the dashboard toolbar
Auto-refreshConfigurable interval (off, 1 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min)

TIP

Enable auto-refresh for dashboards displayed on a wall monitor or shared screen during standups.
