Create a Visualization
Follow this tutorial to create your first Dashboard Builder visualization. At the end, you have a chart rendered in a tile on your personal dashboard.
Open your dashboard
In C3 AI Studio, open <my_c3_app_url>/my-dashboard. Your personal dashboard loads with a default layout containing one empty tile.
Enable edit mode
Select Edit in the top-right corner of the dashboard page. The dashboard enters edit mode, which allows you to select tiles and submit prompts.
Select a tile
Select an empty tile. The tile becomes active and the chat input appears.
Submit a prompt
In the chat input, describe the visualization you want. Include the data subject, a time range, and the chart type. For example:
Show total power output by turbine for the last 30 days as a bar chart.Submit the prompt. The agent queries your application's data model, generates the chart configuration, and renders the visualization in the active tile. Processing time varies depending on data volume.
Confirm the result
After the visualization appears in the tile, reload the page and confirm the tile still shows the chart. Dashboard Builder saves your layout automatically. The visualization persists across sessions.
Update a visualization
To replace the chart in an existing tile, select the tile and submit a new prompt.
- Select Edit in the top-right corner of the dashboard page to enter edit mode.
- Select the tile that contains the visualization you want to replace. The chat input appears.
- In the chat input, enter a new prompt describing the updated visualization.
- Submit the prompt. The agent replaces the existing chart with the new visualization.
The updated visualization saves automatically. Reload the page to confirm the tile shows the new chart.
