    The Create with AI button highlighted
  2. Enter the prompt - Metrics related to Customers and Orders.

  3. The dashboard will be generated based on your prompt.

Create a dashboard card

You can modify the dashboard by adding new cards:

  1. Click Add a card to create a new visualization.

    Dashboard cards are individual components that display specific data visualizations.

  2. Change the card title from "New card" to "Customer Orders Overview"

  3. Select Graph from the visualization type dropdown

  4. Use the following Cypher query in the Query field:

cypher
MATCH (c:Customer)<-[r:PURCHASED]->(o:Order)
WHERE c.companyName = 'Eastern Connection'
RETURN c,r,o

Making dashboards interactive with filters

Filters allow users to dynamically change what data is displayed without modifying queries.

You will create a filter that lets users select a specific customer to view their orders.

On the dashboard select Add filter.

Create a filter with the following settings:

  • Filter type: Node property

  • Node label: Customer

  • Property key: companyName

filter settings

Linking filters to dashboard cards

Update the Customer Orders Overview card query to use the filter parameter.

cypher
MATCH (c:Customer)<-[r:PURCHASED]->(o:Order)
WHERE c.companyName = $customer_companyname
RETURN c,r,o

Where dashboards fit in your workflow

Dashboards enable rapid prototyping of data visualizations and serve as the bridge between your graph database and stakeholders.

The dashboards tool is useful for:

  • Quick data exploration and validation

  • Creating stakeholder presentations

  • Building operational monitoring dashboards

  • Prototyping before investing in custom applications
