The Dashboard panel: charts that filter your list
Dashboard is one of the panels in a list's More menu (list header → More → Dashboard). It automatically turns your columns into charts — pie charts for columns with a handful of distinct values, bar charts for columns with more, plus a couple of charts that compare two columns and a short list of insights, like which columns have the most missing data.
Filtering by clicking a chart#
Click a bar or a pie segment to filter the grid down to just the rows with that value — the panel header then shows which filter is active, and a Clear Filter button appears to remove it. Only one chart filter can be active at a time; clicking a different segment replaces the previous filter rather than adding to it. Closing the Dashboard panel clears the filter automatically.
Good to know#
- Charts are generated from the data currently in the grid and rebuild each time you open the panel — there's nothing to configure or save.
- It's entirely computed in your browser: no credits are spent and no data leaves ListPlus to build these charts.
- With very little data, or columns that are mostly empty or all-unique (like a raw notes field), ListPlus may not have enough to chart and shows an empty state instead.
FAQ#
What is the Dashboard panel?#
It's a panel that automatically charts the values in your list's columns — pie or bar charts for how values are distributed, plus a couple of charts comparing two columns and a short list of data-quality insights. Open it from the list header's More menu.
How do I filter my list using a chart?#
Click a bar or a pie slice — the grid narrows to the rows matching that value, and the panel header shows the active filter with a Clear Filter button to remove it.
Can I have more than one chart filter active at once?#
No, only one at a time. Clicking a different bar or segment replaces the current filter instead of adding to it; use the column funnel filters (see "Search, filter, sort, and find & replace") if you need to combine several conditions.
Does using the Dashboard cost credits?#
No. All charts and insights are computed in your browser from the data already in the grid — nothing is sent to an AI model or a data provider, so it's completely free.
Why don't I see any charts for a column?#
ListPlus needs enough structure to chart a column — a free-text field where almost every value is different, or a column that's mostly empty, usually won't produce a useful chart and is skipped.
Do the charts update automatically as I edit the list?#
Charts are generated fresh each time you open the Dashboard panel, so recent edits are included when you open it — they don't update live while it's already open and you're editing elsewhere.
