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
- Go to Analytics > Dashboards in the workspace sidebar.
- Click Create Dashboard.
- Enter a name and optional description.
- Click Create.
The new dashboard opens in edit mode, ready for widgets.
Dashboard properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The dashboard title (shown in the sidebar and share links) |
| Description | Optional description of the dashboard's purpose |
| Visibility | Private (only you) or shared (visible to workspace members) |
| Favorited | Whether it appears in your favorites section |

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
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Edit mode | Resize, reposition, add, remove, and configure widgets |
| View mode | Read-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:
| Trigger | Description |
|---|---|
| Page load | Data is fetched when the dashboard is opened |
| Manual refresh | Click the refresh icon on the dashboard toolbar |
| Auto-refresh | Configurable 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.
Sharing dashboards
Visibility settings
| Visibility | Who can see it |
|---|---|
| Private | Only the dashboard creator |
| Workspace | All workspace members with analytics access |
| Public link | Anyone with the link (read-only, no SetGet account required) |
Changing visibility
- Open the dashboard.
- Click the Share button.
- Select the visibility level.
- For public links, copy the generated URL.
WARNING
Public links expose dashboard data to anyone with the URL. Do not use public links for dashboards containing sensitive project data.

Members who want to customize a shared dashboard can click Duplicate to create their own copy.
Favoriting dashboards
Click the star icon on any dashboard to add it to your favorites. Favorited dashboards appear at the top of the dashboard list for quick access.
Duplicating a dashboard
