# Displaying and Configuring Dashboards

## Overview

In the **Dashboards** workspace, the dashboard is displayed and edited. The **dimension bar** can be used to configure the value display in the widgets.

## Creating a Dashboard

By default, there is one dashboard in the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform. In Lucanet. **Financial Client**, you can create additional dashboards under **Administration | Workspaces** to then use these dashboards in the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform.

## Displaying Dashboards

Dashboards are displayed in the **Consolidation & FInancial Planning** menu in the **Dashboards** workspace:

## Configuring Dashboards

In the **dimension bar**, you can configure the dimensions for displaying the values in the dashboard widgets. Changes to dimensions affect all **widgets** in the dashboard.

The **Time period** and **Data level** dimensions are available in two variants in the dimension bar for dashboards and can be used to display comparisons (deltas).

- **Time period (base)**: Period for which values are displayed in the widgets and, if applicable, base period for displaying comparisons (deltas).
- **Time period (delta)**: To track the performance of a particular account or item in a given period compared to the **Time period (base)**, it is possible to specify a positive or negative offset in months under **Time period (delta)**. When a delta is specified, the **Offset** prefix is displayed in widgets that are configured to display a delta (see [Editing Dashboards](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/consolidation-financial-planning/dashboard/edit-dashboard.md)):

- **Data level (base)**: Data level for which values are displayed in the widgets and, if applicable, base data level for displaying comparisons (deltas).
- **Data level (delta)**: To display a comparison between planned and actual values, or between different planning scenarios, for example, you can use **Data level (delta)** to choose the level to be compared with the **Data level (base)**. In widgets configured to display a delta (see [Editing Dashboards](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/consolidation-financial-planning/dashboard/edit-dashboard.md)), the delta is displayed as follows:

All other dimensions match the dimensions that can be configured by default in dimension bars.
