## When To Use Dashboards

Dashboard are a powerful tool for teams to easily view, share, and compare key model health metrics. Explore the dashboard [widget](/ax/machine-learning/machine-learning/how-to-ml/dashboards/widgets) and [templates](/ax/machine-learning/machine-learning/how-to-ml/dashboards/templates) pages to dive into dashboard use cases for your ad hoc analysis.

#### Sharing Dashboards With Your Team

Share dashboards across teams to easily communicate ML model analytics. Simply copy the dashboard URL to share with your team.

## How To Create A Dashboard

Dashboards are composed of [widgets](/ax/machine-learning/machine-learning/how-to-ml/dashboards/widgets) that you can assemble from scratch or create via pre-existing [templates](/ax/machine-learning/machine-learning/how-to-ml/dashboards/templates).

Learn how to create a new dashboard below.

## Create A Dashboard via GraphQL

Programmatically create any dashboard using `CreateDashboardFromTemplateMutationInput` in the [GraphQL explorer](/ax/graphql-reference).

```php theme={null}
mutation {
  createDashboardFromTemplate(input: {
    name: "example monitor dashboard",
    modelId: "example1id", #add cooresponding model id
    modelVersionIds: [],
    modelBId: "",
    modelBVersionIds: [],
    template: driftMonitor, #select template
    positiveClass: null,
    featureValues: [],
    numSlices: 0,
    monitorIds: [],

  }) {
    dashboard {
      id
      monitorLineChartWidgets{
        edges{
          node{
            monitor{
              ...on WidgetMonitor{
                id
                name
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```
