Quiver dashboard mode allows you to present insights from your analysis in read-only, interactive dashboards. Dashboards can be used as standalone views or embedded in other Foundry applications.
Dashboards are the new way to create views using content from a Quiver analysis that can be shared with other users in a read-only format. Dashboards are designed to improve upon templates and will replace them over time.
At this time, you have the choice of creating either templates or dashboards, though we recommend using only dashboards. We will eventually remove the ability to create new templates.
We are not requiring existing templates to be rebuilt as dashboards. Templates will continue to work as expected. You will still be able to share, embed, and edit Quiver templates. If you would like to convert existing templates to dashboards to benefit from the added functionalities of a dashboard, you will need to rebuild manually as there is no automated conversion of templates to dashboards.
