# Programmatically Create Dashboards

For most users, the Arize platform’s user interface (UI) offers the optimal experience for creating dashboards. The UI provides a live preview of your dashboard, making it easy to visualize changes as you add widgets. Moreover, with Arize’s customizable dashboard templates, you can quickly tailor dashboards to suit your specific requirements.

However, there are scenarios where programmatically creating dashboards might better serve your needs.If you aim to replicate a particular set of widgets across various dashboards, efficiently clone an entire dashboard, or integrate dashboard creation into your automated onboarding workflows, programmatic creation provides exceptional flexibility. This method allows you to handle custom and repeatable dashboard requirements effectively, providing a scalable solution for complex environments.

## Creating a Dashboard Using a Template

Programmatically create a dashboard using one of our predefined templates, streamlining the setup process for common use cases

```php theme={null}
mutation create(
  $name:String!
  $modelId:ID!
  $template:DashboardTemplates!
  $postiveClass: String!
){
  createDashboardFromTemplate(input:
  {
    name:$name
    modelId:$modelId
    template: $template
    positiveClass: $postiveClass
  }
  ){
    dashboard{
      id
    }
  }
}
```

**variables**

```json theme={null}
{
  "name": "dashboard-name",
  "modelId": "model_id",
  "template": "templateName", 
  "postiveClass": "fraud"
}
```

## **Create an Empty Dashboard**

When creating a new custom dashboard, you first need to create an empty state dashboard to add widgets to:

```php theme={null}
mutation createDashTest($name: String!, $spaceId: ID!) {
  createDashboard(input: { name: $name, spaceId: $spaceId }) {
    dashboard {
      id
    }
  }
}
```

This will return the dashboard id to use in mutations to add widgets.

## Add a Distribution Widget

To visualize data variations and overall distribution patterns on your dashboard, use the `createBarChartWidget` mutation.

```php theme={null}
mutation createBarChartWidget(
  $title:String!
  $dashboardId:ID!
  $plots:[BarChartPlotInputInput!]!
){
  createBarChartWidget(
    input:
  {
    title:$title
    dashboardId: $dashboardId 
    plots: $plots
  }
  ){
    barChartWidget{
      id
    }
  }
}
```

**variable**

```json theme={null}
{
  "title": "widget-title",
  "dashboardId": "dashboard_id",
  "plots": [
    {
      "title": "plot-title",
      "position": 1,
      "modelId": "model_id",
      "dimension": {
        "id": "dimension_id",
        "name": "dimension_name",
        "dataType": "STRING"
      },
      "dimensionCategory": "featureLabel",
      "filters": [],
      "modelVersionIds": []
    }
  ]
}
```

## Add a Time Series Widget

Use the `createLineChartWidget` to add a time series widget to your dashboard, which is perfect for visualizing performance over time, data quality, and analyzing trends with options to add multiple lines or split data by specific criteria.

## Add a Drift Widget

To effectively monitor data drift, utilize the `createLineChartWidget` mutation with the `widgetType` input set to `driftLineChartWidget`. Below is an example that demonstrates using the PSI. You also have the flexibility to opt for other statistical methods such as Jensen-Shannon distance (JS) or Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence, depending on your analysis needs.

```php theme={null}
mutation createDriftWidget(
$title:String!
  $dashboardId:ID!
  $plots:[LineChartPlotInputInput!]!
  $timeSeriesMetricType: TimeSeriesMetricCategory!
){
  createLineChartWidget(
    input:
  {
    title:$title
    timeSeriesMetricType: $timeSeriesMetricType
    dashboardId: $dashboardId 
    plots: $plots
    widgetType: driftLineChartWidget
  }
  ){
    lineChartWidget{
      id
    }
  }
}
```

**variables**

```json theme={null}
{
  "title": "drift-widget-title",
  "dashboardId": "dashbaord_id",
  "timeSeriesMetricType": "evaluationMetric",
  "plots": [{
    "modelId": "model_id",
    "modelVersionIds": [],
    "dimensionCategory": "prediction",
    "metric": "psi",
    "title": "drift-plot-title",
    "position": 1,
    "modelEnvironmentName": "production",
    "filters": [],
    "comparisonDatasetModelBaselineId": "baseline_id" 
  }
  ]
}
```

To get your baselineId you can query your model:

```javascript theme={null}
query getBaseline($modelID:ID!){
  node(id: $modelID) {
    ... on Model {
      modelPrimaryBaseline{
        id
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Add a Monitor Widget

Visualize your monitors using a monitor widget.

```php theme={null}
mutation createMonitorChartWidget(
  $title:String!
  $dashboardId:ID!
  $monitorId: ID!
){
  createLineChartWidget(
    input:
  {
    title:$title
    timeSeriesMetricType: evaluationMetric
    dashboardId: $dashboardId 
    monitorId: $monitorId
    widgetType: monitorLineChartWidget
  }
  ){
    lineChartWidget{
      id
    }
  }
}
```

**variables**

```json theme={null}
{
  "title": "widget-title",
  "dashboardId": "dashboard_id",
  "monitorId": "monitor_id"
}
```

## Add a Statistic Widget

      $title:String!
      $dashboardId:ID!
      $timeSeriesMetricType: TimeSeriesMetricCategory!
      $modelId:ID!
      $performanceMetric: PerformanceMetric
      $positiveClass:String!
      $filters: [StatisticWidgetFilterItemInput!]!
    ){
      createStatisticWidget(
        input:
      {
        dashboardId: $dashboardId
        title:$title
        timeSeriesMetricType:$timeSeriesMetricType
        modelId:$modelId
        performanceMetric:$performanceMetric
        positiveClass: $positiveClass
        filters:$filters
        modelVersionEnvironmentMetadataIds:[]
        modelVersionIds:[]
      })

        statisticWidget{
          id
        }
      }
    }

      },
      "dimensionCategory": "prediction",
      "filters": []
    }
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Data Quality Metric">
    ```php theme={null}
    mutation createStatWidget(
      $title:String!
      $dashboardId:ID!
      $timeSeriesMetricType: TimeSeriesMetricCategory!
      $modelId:ID!
      $aggregation: DataQualityMetric
      $dimension:DimensionInput
      $dimensionCategory: DimensionCategory
      $filters: [StatisticWidgetFilterItemInput!]!

    ){
      createStatisticWidget(
        input:
      {
        dashboardId: $dashboardId
        title:$title
        timeSeriesMetricType:$timeSeriesMetricType

        creationStatus:published
        modelVersionEnvironmentMetadataIds:[]
        modelVersionIds:[]
      })
      {
        statisticWidget{
          id
        }
      }
    }
    ```

    **variables**

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "title": "widget-title",
      "dashboardId": "dashboard_id",
      "timeSeriesMetricType": "modelDataMetric",
      "modelId": "model_id",
      "aggregation":"count",
      "dimension":{
        "id":"dimension_id",
        "name": "dimesnion_name",
        "dataType": "dimension_datatype"
      },
      "dimensionCategory": "prediction",
      "filters": []
    }
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Add a Text Widget

Add a text widget to your dashboard to offer explanatory text, headings, or contextual information, enriching the dashboard's narrative and usability.

mutation createTextWidget(
  $title:String!
  $dashboardId:ID!
  $content:String!

){
  createTextWidget(
    input:
  {
    dashboardId: $dashboardId
    title:$title
    content: $content
    creationStatus:published
