How to use Looped Databoards

Looped Databoards allow you to group multiple dashboards together in order to tell a more comprehensive story with your data. This means you're not limited to 1 dashboard when creating a presentation or digging into your data- you can loop multiple dashboards together to create a clean, organized, and in-depth presentation.

不要害怕在multipl传播你的数据e dashboards - this makes it easier for your audience to digest the data and allows you to dig into it with different levels of detail at different times.

Once looped, you can easily share the set of dashboards both inside and outside of the Databox app. The Sharable Link will show all Looped Databoards when opened from the Looped Databoards page/ section, or from the first dashboard in the loop. You can also set Scheduled Snapshots for Looped Databoards and have the entire loop exported as JPGs/ a PDF at regularly scheduled times.
