How do I pin answers to a live dashboard in iDBQuery?
In iDBQuery you build a dashboard by pinning answers and charts you've already asked for — each tile stays live, re-running its query so the numbers refresh instead of freezing as a snapshot. You assemble a dashboard by asking questions, not by wiring up widgets, and can share it with your team.
A dashboard in iDBQuery grows out of the questions you ask, which is very different from building one field-by-field in a traditional BI tool.
- Pin what you asked. When an answer or chart is useful, pin it to a dashboard. Each tile keeps its underlying query.
- Live, not static. Tiles re-run against the data, so a dashboard reflects current numbers rather than a frozen export — for live sources that means up-to-the-moment figures.
- Assemble by asking. Want another view? Ask the question and pin it. The dashboard becomes a curated set of live answers you can rearrange.
This makes a genuinely self-serve workflow: someone who can't build a report in Power BI can still stand up a clean operational or executive dashboard just by conversing. Every tile retains its SQL and row-level citations, so the whole board is auditable — you can click into any figure and see the data behind it. Finished dashboards can be shared with colleagues and, where you want automation, refreshed and delivered on a schedule as a report.
