Databox Designer helps you build custom KPI dashboard in minutes

Create a meaningful business dashboard in minutes

With our dashboard design wizard, building a dashboard in Databox is as simple as connecting a data source and choosing the specific metrics you need from a list of the most popular metrics from 70+ data sources. Then, your data populates in seconds without any design or code needed.

Edit any of our 200+ dashboard templates using the Dashboard Designer

You might want to design your own dashboards, but that doesn’t mean you have to start from scratch. You can start with any of our 200+ dashboard templates and customize them however you want inside the Dashboard Designer. Add new metrics, delete ones you don’t want, resize the blocks, change the visualization type, add goals, and more.

Track performance from multiple sources in one dashboard

Need to track performance from various sources in one dashboard? Maybe you want to track marketing performance from Google Analytics with sales performance from HubSpot CRM in order to connect the dots between marketing and sales. With the Designer, you can easily toggle between all of your connected sources and pull any of the pre-built metrics or visualizations into your dashboard as needed.

Compare current performance to goals, past performance, and more

Need to see how performance is trending toward your goals? Or how this month’s sales performance compares to last month’s or last quarter’s? Use the Datablock Editor to select customizations and measure any metric in your dashboard against the goals you’ve set in Databox, previous performance, and more.

Hundreds of pre-build data visualizations

Customize your dashboard using simple drag-and-drop functionality

Creating reports from scratch can be intimidating. Which metrics should you track? How should you visualize them? We took care of this for you. We’ve created pre-built visualizations of the most popular metrics associated with any of our 70+ data sources. This means all you need to do is drag-and-drop the ones you need into your dashboard and they will populate with your data and visualization automatically.

Rearrange metrics on your dashboards with ease

Customizing the way your data is presented on your dashboard is as simple as selecting any Datablock to resize it and/or move it around to make room for other visualizations. Databoards are dynamic, so anytime you move or resize a Datablock, the rest of your dashboard will adjust automatically.

Design company dashboards with your color scheme and logos

Want to make beautiful Dashboards that represent your brand? With Databox, we’ve designed Databoards so they always look professional and so your data is always easy to interpret.
