# Create dashboards

Plan availability: Available on Pro and Enterprise plans

A well-designed dashboard turns raw data into insights you can act on. To help you get started, several ready-made templates cover common use cases. You can use these as a foundation, but we recommend customizing them or building your own dashboards to match your needs and workflows.

## Prerequisites

To create a dashboard, you need:

- A paid plan. On the Free plan, you can view and export the default dashboards as images, but creating dashboards isn't available.
- A role with the **Create and delete dashboards** permission. The default **Administrator** and **Analyze Data** roles include it; the **View Data** role is read-only. See [Manage roles](/docs/manage-roles).

## Create a new dashboard

1. In your site, go to **Dashboards**.
2. Select **Create dashboard**.
3. Select **Add item**, and drag and drop an item on your new dashboard.
4. In **Available datasets**, search for data you want to display in the dashboard item.
5. Drag and drop the selected data into the dashboard item.
6. Select **Close editor**.

Your dashboard is saved automatically.

              Rename your dashboard

              

New dashboards are named **Untitled dashboard** by default. Change your dashboard’s name by selecting the current name and entering a new one.

              Don't see the Create dashboard option?

              

If the **Create dashboard** option is missing, either your site is on the Free plan or your role doesn't include the **Create and delete dashboards** permission. Check your subscription plan, or ask your site administrator to review your role. See [Access management](/docs/access-management).
