Similarweb's dashboards are designed to provide users with a fully customizable view of the data that is most relevant to them.
By allowing you to choose from a list of pre-built templates or create a fully customized dashboard, you can reduce your time to discover actionable insights.
With Similarweb dashboards, you can gather the data and metrics that are most relevant to you in one place, giving you a clear and complete picture the digital landscape. Whether you're looking to track website traffic, monitor user engagement, optimized for SEO, or keep an eye on your competitors, dashboards offer quick access to a customized and tailored view.
Once created, you can share your dashboards with your team, you can subscribe to receive email notifications of fresh data, and you can use it as a template to create additional dashboards.
By gathering the most relevant data in one place and providing the flexibility to adjust your dashboard as needed, dashboards make it fast and easy to access your data, make informed decisions and stay ahead of the competition.

Can I receive email notifications for dashboards shared with me?
Yes!
Are email notifications enabled by default?
No, they are disabled by default. You will need to subscribe to the dashboards you wish to receive notifications for.
Can I change the frequency of emails I receive?
No. The frequency of the notification emails is synchronized with new data updates. For dashboards containing the last 28 days' data, you will receive weekly notification emails. For dashboards containing monthly data, you will receive monthly notification emails.
If I subscribe to multiple dashboards, will I get lots of different emails?
We will bundle up all your email notifications of the same type. You will get one weekly email for all the dashboards you subscribed to containing the last 28 days' data. You will get one monthly email for all the dashboards you subscribed to containing monthly data.
I want to turn on/off all my dashboards - is there a way to do this without going into each dashboard separately?
No, for now, the only way to turn on/off dashboard notifications is by turning this on for each individual dashboard.
Can I export my dashboard to PowerPoint presentations to share with my colleagues?
Yes, you can export any dashboard into an editable Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, which means every table, graph, or chart is fully editable and customizable within PowerPoint (including the ability to access the underlying spreadsheet data of any of the metrics).
Can I share dashboards with people at my company that are not Similarweb users?
Along with being able to share Dashboards with other Similarweb users at your company, you can grant a non-user Viewer access to be able to see the dashboard you'd like to share. Click here for more details.
How will my colleagues know that I shared a dashboard?
You have the option to check the box for users to be notified by email with a link to the shared dashboard.
Can I share dashboards with people outside of my company?
No, Similarweb dashboards can only be shared within your company.
Can I share with specific people and/or all users in the account?
Yes! You have the option to share with specific colleagues or all users in your Similarweb account.
If a dashboard is shared is it “view-only” for all other users?
Yes, the owner of the dashboard is the only one who can edit the dashboard metrics. When you share a dashboard, those you share it with can view it and interact with it, but can't edit it.
If a dashboard is shared with me, am I able to edit it?
No. However, ‘view-only’ users of a dashboard are able to duplicate it in order to edit the dashboard. These changes will only appear under their user and not on the originally shared dashboard.
If I update a dashboard after it’s shared, will it automatically update for everyone?
Yes!
Can I stop sharing a dashboard?
Yes, if you are the dashboard owner then you can revoke access for all other users in your Similarweb account.
What happens if I share a dashboard with a custom asset (custom category/keyword group) in it?
This will work within the dashboard that was shared, but you won’t see it in your custom assets. If you duplicate the dashboard you will get this custom asset added to your user and can edit as required (this won’t be linked to the custom asset of the original user)
If a user is switched from one account to another with the same email, will the dashboards in their account be kept?
Yes, their dashboards -- and other custom assets -- will be transferred to their new account and be fully accessible.
