Creating a Slice and Dashboard

This is the fourth step of creating your own report with the Reporting module.

In Superset, a saved query is called a Slice.

To create a slice:

  1. Click the Save as button near the top-left of the explore.

  • A popup should appear, asking you to name the slice and optionally add it to a dashboard. Since we haven’t yet created any dashboards, we can create one and immediately add our slice to it. Let’s do it.

Adjust the Sizes of Slice in the Dashboard

If it is a bit smaller than you might like, adjust and save the new configuration:

  1. Click, hold, and drag the bottom-right corner to your desired dimensions.
  2. After adjusting the size, you’ll be asked to click on the icon near the top-right of the dashboard to save the new configuration.

Congrats! You’ve successfully linked, analyzed, and visualized data in Superset. There is a wealth of other table configuration and visualization options, so please start exploring and creating slices and dashboards of your own.
