You need dashboard-view permission as well as access through the sharing configuration. Read the dashboard's title and purpose before interpreting its figures. Dashboards use captured data-source snapshots, so their numbers are not necessarily a live query of every document. ## Choose the period and inspect a chart Use the dashboard date controls when they are available. Check the selected period and let the dashboard refresh its display. Different elements can use their configured date columns. Select a chart segment or other interactive element when drilldown is configured. Read the resulting detail and filters before treating it as the whole population. Reporting dashboard with date controls above its charts ## Check freshness and export Inspect refresh information before using the result for a time-sensitive decision. Refreshing the view and refreshing an underlying data source are different operations. Use the offered export control when you need a copy. Keep the date range, dashboard purpose, and snapshot timing with the exported result so it can be interpreted later. See [dashboard viewing reference](/reporting/viewing-dashboards) for header controls, drilldowns, and export details. ## Where to read next Documentation for the Nobly Insight platform — AI-powered document intelligence and collaboration.
