Visualizing Data on a Dashboard

Create a custom dashboard to display important data about your distributed systems with Dashboard Builder.

• Tile dashboards—Display your tag, system, asset, and test data with tiles you can easily configure, organize, and consume.
• Free-form dashboards—Display your tag and system data with indicators and controls like you would on a console or LabVIEW front panel.
  

  Note  

  This dashboard type is deprecated. NI recommends that you use tile dashboards instead of free-form dashboards for new visualizations you create.

Refer to the following table to determine what type of dashboard you want to create.

Type of dashboard	Level of Difficulty	Benefits	What it looks like
