Variables are used to filter and manipulate queries throughout dashboards and reports. Variables can be used to segment data depending on the viewer to ensure they only see their own data as well as provide interactions for your viewers.

Tips

The data tab is used to configure the visualization type and aggregations shown on the data panel. Choose between the different visualizations we offer below, select which fields to display, and set any data filters.

Explo provides a straightforward way to version your dashboards. The following pages describe how this system works and how to use it.

Viewing Dashboard Versions

In Explo, versions follow a linear history. You always start editing off of the most recent version of the dashboard.

Editing the Current Draft

All changes you make to the current draft are not yet made accessible to embed until you publish the draft as a new version.

Publishing a New Version

If you found some issues with your current version or just simply want to get back to a previous version you can click on the revert version menu button and it will revert to that version.

Reverting Versions
