# Dashboard

> Cloud spend, pinned widgets, and integration health at a glance.

Your **Dashboard** is the first place you land in nOps. It brings together account-wide spend, charts you pin from Canvas, and integration health—so you get a clear picture without jumping between tools.

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Get started

1. Sign in at [clara.nops.io/dashboard](https://clara.nops.io/dashboard).
2. Review **All Spend** for a quick cost snapshot.
3. Pin charts from shared Canvas workspaces to build your **Pinned widgets** section.
4. Check **Account Status** for cloud integration health.

The nOps logo in the sidebar also returns you to the Dashboard.

## All Spend

The **All Spend** section shows organization-wide spend for the **last 30 days**, with **yesterday** and **month-to-date** comparisons—the same summary cards you see in [Explorer](/inform/explorer).

| Card                        | What it shows                                                   |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Yesterday's total spend** | Spend for the previous day vs. the day before                   |
| **Month to date spend**     | Spend from the start of the month vs. the same range last month |
| **Total spend**             | Spend for the selected window vs. the prior period              |

A freshness label shows when data was last updated. Click **Open Explorer** to drill down by dimension, tag, service, account, or any other filter.

<Tip>
  Use All Spend for daily check-ins. Use Explorer when you need to answer *why* spend moved or *which* team or service drove the change.
</Tip>

## Pinned widgets

**Pinned widgets** keep the metrics your team checks most on the Dashboard. You can pin two kinds of things:

* **Canvas charts** from [Canvas](https://clara.nops.io/canvas)
* **Explorer reports** — a saved **Shared** or **nOps Global** [report](/inform/reports), including reports saved with the **heat map** view

### How to pin a chart or report

1. For a canvas chart: open a **shared** canvas and click the **pin** icon on a chart widget.
2. For an Explorer report: in [Explorer](/inform/explorer), open **Manage Reports** and click the **pin** icon next to a **Shared** or **nOps Global** report (private reports can't be pinned).
3. The chart or report appears in your Dashboard **Pinned widgets** section.

### Layout and limits

* You can pin up to **25** items total, combining canvas charts and Explorer reports.
* Wide layouts show up to four canvas chart pins at a time in a 2×2 grid; Explorer report pins take the full row width.
* Narrow screens show up to two pins in a single column.
* Extra pins appear on the next page—use the pagination controls to browse.
* If your pins span more than one cloud provider, filter chips (**All**, **AWS**, **GCP**, **Azure**) appear above the section so you can narrow the view to one provider at a time.

### Widget actions

* **Refresh chart data** — reload the latest numbers for pinned canvas charts. Explorer report pins always show live data, so there's no separate refresh action.
* **Download pinned widgets as PDF** — export your current canvas chart pins as one PDF (Explorer report pins are not included).
* **Unpin** — remove a chart or report from the Dashboard (the source canvas chart or Explorer report is unchanged).

For step-by-step pinning, reordering, refresh behavior, and PDF export details, see the [Platform Dashboard guide](/platform/dashboard#pinned-widgets).

If a chart is still processing, you may see: *We're working on processing your data* — *Your chart will appear here when it's ready. Ask Clara to refresh all data.*

<Note>
  Changing a pinned report's visibility to **Private** automatically removes it from **Pinned widgets**. To combine several Explorer reports into one shared, multi-widget layout, use [Explorer Dashboard](/inform/explorer-dashboard) instead.
</Note>

## Account Status

**Account Status** summarizes your cloud integrations—how many are connected, pending setup, or available to add.

* The summary card shows **Integrations** (for example, *3 of 5 active*) and **Completion** with items remaining.
* Status pills include **Connected**, **Pending setup**, and **Available**.
* Use **Manage Integrations** to open [Settings](https://clara.nops.io/settings) and configure providers.
* **Check Connectivity** verifies an integration when troubleshooting.

Integration setup is managed from Settings; the Dashboard gives you a read-only health view so you know whether cost data sources are ready.

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is the difference between Dashboard and Explorer Dashboard?">
    **Dashboard** is your personal home page with All Spend and Canvas pins. **Explorer Dashboard** is under Inform → Dashboards and combines saved Explorer reports into shared team layouts.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why are my pinned widgets empty?">
    Pin chart widgets from a shared canvas, or pin a **Shared** or **nOps Global** Explorer report from Explorer's Manage Reports. Private canvases and private reports can't be pinned.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How fresh is All Spend data?">
    Data follows the same pipeline as Explorer—typically available within 24 to 48 hours after integration, with roughly a 24-hour CUR-aligned delay. The freshness label on All Spend shows when data was last ingested.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I customize which integrations appear?">
    Account Status reflects integrations configured for your organization. Admins manage providers from **Settings → Integrations**.
