Wave Analytics Dashboard JSON Overview

Create advanced dashboards in Wave Analytics by modifying the JSON that defines a dashboard. The easiest way to design dashboards is to use the designer. However, you can further customize dashboards by editing their JSON files.

Modify a dashboard’s JSON file for tasks such as:

  • Specify a SAQL query, and specify relationships between the query and other steps.
  • Populate a selector with a specified list of values instead of from a query.
  • Use manual bindings to override the default faceting and manually specify the relationships between the steps.
  • Set query limits.
  • Specify columns for a values table.
  • Set up layouts for mobile devices.

Wave provides two dashboard designers. Except for the gridLayouts content, this guide discusses how to perform tasks in the original designer. The gridLayouts section discusses how to customize the JSON when using the new flex dashboard designer, which is beta as of Spring ’16.
