Editing with Dash

Use Dash, the Two Minute Reports AI assistant, to build and edit dashboards live and to summarize your data, just by asking in plain language.

Dash is the Two Minute Reports AI assistant. On a dashboard, Dash can build and edit for you, generate a whole dashboard or page, add and restyle widgets, rearrange pages, and it can summarize what your data is telling you, all from a chat. This page covers what Dash can do with dashboards; the rest of the Dashboards docs cover doing the same things by hand.

What You Can Do

  • Ask Dash to generate a full dashboard or a new page from a prompt
  • Add, edit, duplicate, move, and resize widgets by asking
  • Restyle a single widget or the whole dashboard
  • Add, rename, and reorder pages
  • Change the date range and data source accounts
  • Get plain-language summaries and insights about your data
  • Have Dash add a summary widget or a downloadable chart for a client

Meet Dash

Open Dash from the assistant orb in the top bar, or press ⌘J (Mac) / Ctrl+J (Windows) anywhere in the app. Dash is context-aware: when a dashboard is open, it can see the dashboard's pages, widgets, and layout, so you can say "this widget" or "add a page here" and it knows what you mean.

On a dashboard the composer prompts you with "Ask about this dashboard, or anything…". You can type a request, pick a starter prompt, or use @ to point Dash at a specific dashboard, client, or goal.

Dash needs a dashboard open in the editor to edit it. If you ask it to change a dashboard when none is open, it will let you know to open one first.

Build & Edit Dashboards

When a dashboard is open, Dash makes changes live in the editor. Every change:

  • applies immediately, so you watch it happen
  • is auto-saved, like any manual edit
  • is undoable with the editor's undo/redo

You stay in control, Dash proposes and applies changes, and you can undo anything you don't like.

Generate a Dashboard or Page

For anything big, Dash builds it in one step:

  • A whole new dashboard - "Build a new GA4 and Google Ads dashboard." Dash designs a complete, multi-page dashboard and opens it for you.
  • A whole new page - "Add an audience analytics page to this dashboard." Dash designs a laid-out page (section headers, scorecards, charts) and adds it live.

Edit Widgets

For a single widget or a quick tweak, just ask:

  • Add - "Add a scorecard for total conversions."
  • Edit - "Change the spend chart to a bar chart and break it down by campaign."
  • Duplicate - "Duplicate the ROAS scorecard."
  • Move - "Put the sessions chart at the top."
  • Resize - "Make the revenue table full width."

Restyle

  • One widget - "Make the revenue scorecard use our brand color."
  • The whole dashboard - "Apply a clean, dark theme to this dashboard."

Manage Pages, Dates & Accounts

  • Pages - "Add a page called SEO", "Rename this page to Paid Media", "Move the Overview page first."
  • Date range - "Set this dashboard to last 30 days."
  • Accounts - "Use my Acme Google Ads and Meta accounts."
Dash never deletes anything. Removing a dashboard, page, or widget is always something you do yourself in the editor, so nothing important disappears by accident.

Summarize & Get Insights

Dash isn't just for building, it can read your dashboard's data and explain it. Every number Dash gives you comes from a live query against your connected data, never a guess.

Ask in the Chat

  • "Summarize this dashboard for my client."
  • "What changed this week?"
  • "Why did sessions drop last week?"
  • "What stands out in my data this month?"

Dash pulls the numbers, compares periods where it helps, and replies with a short, plain-language answer you can share.

Add a Summary Widget

Ask Dash to put the analysis onto the dashboard itself, for example "Add a key-insights summary to the top of this page." Dash queries the real numbers and adds a text widget with the finished, client-ready summary.

Dash only adds a summary widget when you explicitly ask for one, and it always fills it with real, queried numbers, never placeholder text.

Downloadable Charts & Mini-Reports

Dash can render a chart or a small report as an artifact, a self-contained visual that opens beside the chat. Open it in the canvas and download it as an image to drop into a client deck or email.

Example Prompts

Good starting points on a dashboard:

Build

  • "Build a new GA4 + Google Ads dashboard"
  • "Add an audience analytics page"
  • "Chart my top 10 landing pages"
  • "Add a summary text widget to this dashboard"

Analyze

  • "Summarize this dashboard for my client"
  • "What changed this week?"
  • "Why did performance change vs last month?"
  • "What stands out in my data this week?"

Tips & Good to Know

  • Be specific. Name the metrics, breakdowns, and accounts you care about for the best results.
  • Point Dash with @. Mention a specific dashboard, client, or goal to give it exact context.
  • Undo is your safety net. Ask Dash to try something, and step back with undo if it's not what you wanted.
  • Big changes, one ask. For several widgets or a whole page, ask Dash to generate it rather than adding pieces one by one.
  • Review before sharing. Check AI-built widgets and summaries against your data before sending them to a client.

Next Steps

Sharing & Exporting

Share a dashboard with a public link with granular viewer permissions, custom branding, password protection, and expiry, or export it to PDF or PNG.

Goals

Set performance targets, track live progress, and manage client budgets across all your campaigns in one place.
