Introduction to Dashboards
What is a Dashboard?
Dashboards on Muck Rack enable you to view data and graphs from Saved Searches, Pitches, and Coverage Reports in one central view. See how your coverage changes in real-time in your organization’s live Dashboard to gain a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of your press hits.

Navigating a Dashboard
Dashboards allow you a bird's eye view of key metrics and data with the ability to customize colors, labels, data sources, and more.
Here is your guide to the key areas within a Dashboard:
Area of Dashboard | Description |
In the top left corner, you can edit the name of your dashboard and manually refresh the data shown. | |
Access Dashboard Settings and the View full screen option by selecting the More dropdown in the top right corner.
| |
| Access the Widget Library any time by selecting the 'Add Widget' button in the top right-hand corner. |
| Adjust the time period shown in your data by using the Date filters in the top right corner, above your widgets.
|
Your data will appear in widgets in the main section of the Dashboard.
Widgets can be selected and dragged to adjust the order in which they appear. | |
| Select the three dots that appear in the corner of any widget to Edit, Export, or Delete the widget.
Selecting the Edit option opens up the Configure Widget panel. |
What Metrics are included in a Dashboard?
The metrics included in a dashboard will depend on the widgets you select, but can include almost any of the metrics seen across Muck Rack. For a full list of metrics available within Dashboards, we recommend you review our Dashboard Widgets & Templates article.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Question | Answer |
Can I filter the data in my Dashboard widgets? | While you cannot apply filters directly to a widget, you can filter your data sources, i.e. the Saved Search or Coverage Reports attached to the widget. |
How many widgets can I add to a custom Dashboard? | You can add up to 18 widgets to any custom Dashboards. |
Why can't I add any new widgets to my Dashboard? | There are only two instances where you should be unable to add a new widget:
|
I can see all of the data in my Dashboard, but my teammate in the same organization only sees some data. Why is this? | This can happen if you are using data sources (Saved Searches or Coverage Reports) that are set to 'Only me' visibility. We recommend checking the settings within your data sources to ensure visibility is shared with the whole org if you'd like to use them in Dashboards. |
Can I export my dashboard? | To share a dashboard, you can either create a Presentation or export individual widgets to include in external reports or messages. |
