Every Equals workbook has a dashboard, which makes it possible to instantly turn any analysis into a live report that can be automatically distributed on a custom schedule. To access your dashboard, just navigate to the Dashboards sheet included in every Equals workbook.

What can you add to dashboards?

Individual cells, tables (ranges of cells), and charts from the open workbook. These objects will refresh based on any scheduled queries in the workbook. You can also add context with text and auto-generated AI summaries of any tables and charts on the dashboard.

Who can create, edit, and view dashboards?

Dashboards inherit the permissions of the workbook they are contained in.

Creating and editing

Only members with Can edit access to the workbook can create and edit the dashboard in a workbook. They can also add and modify destinations (see below).

Viewing

Any member with Can edit or Read only access to the workbook will be able to view the dashboard. Use the Dashboard only only option if you want select members not to have access to other worksheets in the workbook.

Where can you send dashboards to?

You can add destinations to send a snapshot of a dashboard on a custom schedule (Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly), including email, Slack, and Google Slides. You can only configure each destination once per workbook.

Configuring Slack as a destination

In order to send scheduled reports to Slack, you must first connect your Equals Workspace to your Slack Workspace.

You will be prompted to do this when adding Slack as a dashboard destination for the first time:

You can configure this connection at any time in your Equals workspace settings.
Once your Equals Workspace is connected to your Slack Workspace, you must invite the Equals Slack app to any private channels you want to send scheduled reports to. This app is automatically installed when you perform step one.

You do not need to do this for public channels.

A quick note on permissions

Note that Equals respects your permissions in Slack. This means that other Equals users can only see the Slack channels they have access to. This includes when an Equals member with Can edit access is adding channels to the Slack destination and also when viewing which Slack channels have already been added.
