# Customizable dashboards **(PREMIUM)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/98610) in GitLab 15.5 as an [Alpha feature](../../policy/alpha-beta-support.md#alpha-features).
Customizable dashboards provide a dashboard structure that allows users to create
their own dashboards and commit the structure to a repository.
## Usage
To use customizable dashboards:
1. Create your dashboard component.
1. Render an instance of `CustomizableDashboard`.
1. Pass a list of widgets to render.
For example, a customizable dashboard for users over time:
```vue
<script>
import CustomizableDashboard from 'ee/vue_shared/components/customizable_dashboard/customizable_dashboard.vue';
import { s__ } from '~/locale';
export default {
name: 'AnalyticsDashboard',
components: {
CustomizableDashboard,
},
data() {
return {
widgets: [
{
component: 'CubeLineChart', // The name of the widget component.
title: s__('ProductAnalytics|Users / Time'), // The title shown on the widget component.
// Gridstack settings based upon https://github.com/gridstack/gridstack.js/tree/master/doc#item-options.
// All values are grid row/column numbers up to 12.
// We use the default 12 column grid https://github.com/gridstack/gridstack.js#change-grid-columns.
gridAttributes: {
size: {
height: 4,
width: 6,
minHeight: 4,
minWidth: 6,
},
position: {
xPos: 0,
yPos: 0,
},
},
// Options that are used to set bespoke values for each widget.
// Available customizations are determined by the widget itself.
customizations: {},
// Chart options defined by the charting library being used by the widget.
chartOptions: {
xAxis: { name: __('Time'), type: 'time' },
yAxis: { name: __('Counts') },
},
// The data for the widget.
// This could be imported or in this case, a query passed to be used by the widgets API.
// Each widget type determines how it handles this property.
data: {
query: {
users: {
measures: ['Jitsu.count'],
dimensions: ['Jitsu.eventType'],
},
},
},
},
]
};
},
};
</script>
<template>
<h1>{{ s__('ProductAnalytics|Analytics dashboard') }}</h1>
<customizable-dashboard :widgets="widgets" />
</template>
```
The widgets data can be retrieved from a file or API request, or imported through HTML data attributes.
For each widget, a `component` is defined. Each `component` is a component declaration and should be included in
[`vue_shared/components/customizable_dashboard/widgets_base.vue`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/ee/app/assets/javascripts/vue_shared/components/customizable_dashboard/widgets_base.vue)
as a dynamic import, to keep the memory usage down until it is used.
For example:
```javascript
components: {
CubeLineChart: () => import('ee/product_analytics/dashboards/components/widgets/cube_line_chart.vue')
}
```
