• What is a surfboard and how is it different from a dashboard?

  Dashboards provide a high-level overview of data and answer predefined set of questions. Often, the information presented on a dashboard can lead to more questions, and you may want to visualize this data in your own unique way. That's why we created surfboard, an expanded view of the dashboard, which allows data-savvy users to surf through data and extract insights using natural language, all within the context of the application. Users can create and save personalized lenses without any administrative overhead. Surfboards inherit the same data and dashboard permissions while allowing your users to personalize insights to meet their individual needs.

• What types of experiences do you offer?

  You can integrate fully interactive dashboards into your products. If you need more control over placement and style, you can also select specific sheets or cards. For power users, we provide surfboards where users can create personalized views (lenses) of the dashboard without any administrative overhead.
