You can create custom dashboards in ChartHop to analyze data in your organization. To create a custom dashboard, you must first add a new dashboard and then create charts within it to present your data visually.

For example, you can create a dashboard on gender identities in your organization. You can add a pie chart showing the gender distribution on the executive team, a second pie chart showing the gender distribution among all employees, and a line chart showing the gender distribution in hiring over time. All of these charts would be available within the same dashboard.

Data in ChartHop dashboards can only be filtered down to weekly values. To view job-related data (for example, departures) on specific dates within a date range, use the History page to filter, view, and export data. [Learn more.](https://docs.charthop.com/history-page)

### Create a new dashboard

The first step in building a custom dashboard is adding a new one. This dashboard is initially displayed as empty, and you must add charts to start visualizing your data. 

To create a new dashboard:

1. From the left sidebar, select **Dashboards**. 
2. Select **Create dashboard**. 

Once you have created a new dashboard, you can configure charts to display within the dashboard.
