# Dashboards

> Create a dashboard, arrange charts with drag-and-drop, and organize content into tabs.

A dashboard is a laid-out collection of charts and text with shared filters,
cross-filtering, and drill-down. This page covers creating one, arranging tiles,
and using tabs.

## Creating a dashboard

Create a dashboard from the Dashboards page, then add tiles. Each tile references a
saved [chart](/docs/visualizations/overview) by id — the same chart can appear more
than once. A dashboard is org-scoped and carries a visibility of private, team, or
org, so you control who can open it.

## Drag-and-drop layout

Tiles sit on a grid you arrange directly. In edit mode you can:

- Drag a tile to move it.
- Resize a tile from its edges.
- Add or remove tiles.

Layout is stored as tile geometry (position and size) on the dashboard, and the
whole layout is saved in one write when you rearrange it. Tiles whose underlying
chart was deleted or is no longer visible to you are pruned automatically.

Besides charts, tiles can be [text blocks or section separators](/docs/visualizations/dashboard-blocks)
for annotating and grouping the board.

## Tabs

Dashboards can split content across **tabs** — useful when one board covers several
areas (for example "Overview", "Revenue", "Retention"). In edit mode you can add,
rename, and remove tabs; each tile belongs to a tab. Untabbed dashboards hide the
tab switcher entirely, so simple boards stay simple.

## Interactivity

Dashboards are interactive out of the box. Viewers can filter the whole board with
dashboard controls, click a chart to cross-filter the others, and drill into a mark
to see the rows behind it. See [Interactivity](/docs/visualizations/interactivity)
for filters, controls, cross-filtering, and drill-down.
