The new AI‑powered dashboard creator lets you build personalised dashboard pods simply by describing what you want. The AI works strictly within your role permissions, ensuring your dashboard is tailored to your responsibilities and access level.
1. Open the Dashboard Area
Navigate to the Dashboard screen.
Click Create New Pod or Add AI Pod (depending on your interface version).
2. Launch the AI Pod Builder
Select AI‑Powered Pod Creator.
A prompt box will appear asking you to describe the pod you want.
This could be:
“Show me a chart of upcoming off‑hire equipment for the next 14 days.”
“Create a KPI tile showing overdue service inspections.”
“Build a table of outstanding deliveries grouped by depot.”
3. Describe Your Dashboard Pod
Type your description in natural language — no special formatting needed.
4. Let the AI Generate Your Pod
The AI analyses your request.
It identifies only the data and functions permitted for your OnRent Go role.
It builds the pod layout, design, and configuration automatically.
You’ll see a preview of the generated pod before saving.
5. Save and Add to Your Dashboard
Click Save Pod.
Choose where on your dashboard the new pod should sit.
Drag and drop it if you want to reorganize the layout.
Your dashboard now includes your custom, AI‑built pod.
Pro Tip:
You can use any AI tool eg ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, to create you a prompt to use with the OnRent Go dashboards. For example, ask ChatGPT something like...
You are an expert prompt engineer and OnRent Go dashboard designer.
I want you to create a high-quality prompt that I can paste directly into my OnRent Go dashboard creation tool.
The prompt you create should describe a dashboard clearly enough that the dashboard tool can generate it accurately.
Ask me for any missing details only if absolutely necessary. Otherwise, make sensible assumptions based on rental, hire, construction, and industrial operations dashboards.
The dashboard prompt you produce should include:
1. Dashboard purpose
2. Target users
3. Desktop layout
4. KPI cards
5. Tables and sections
6. Filters
7. Data sources
8. Required calculations
9. Styling requirements
10. Business rules
11. Any assumptions
12. A final ready-to-paste prompt
Use a clean, practical, operational reporting style rather than a marketing dashboard style.
The output should be structured like this:
Dashboard prompt name:
[Short descriptive name]
Best used for:
[Brief explanation of what this dashboard is for]
Ready-to-paste dashboard creation prompt:
[The full prompt I can paste into OnRent Go]
Now create a dashboard creation prompt for the following dashboard idea:

Examples:
AI Prompt:
Create a clean, modern revenue dashboard designed for desktop use with a professional ERP/business intelligence aesthetic. The layout should be compact, highly readable, and optimized for operational users who need a quick financial overview.
At the top, display three horizontally aligned summary cards with subtle borders, soft background colours, and centered values:
Date period selector card
Total revenue KPI card (highlighted with a light green background)
Depot/location card (light blue background)
Below the KPI cards, create a full-width revenue summary table. Use a simple grid layout with light grey headers, thin borders, right-aligned currency values, and percentage share columns. Include a bold total row at the bottom.
Under the revenue summary, display two separate sections stacked vertically:
Top Rental Revenue Items
Top Sale Revenue Items
Each section should contain a clean data table with:
Product column
Group/category column
Revenue column
Tables should use:
Light grey header rows
White backgrounds
Thin borders
Alternating row shading optional
Right-aligned monetary values
Consistent spacing and typography
No heavy shadows or modern card effects
Styling requirements:
Neutral business colour palette
Light greys for tables and borders
Green used only for key revenue KPI
Blue used only for depot/location KPI
Font similar to Segoe UI, Inter, or Open Sans
Compact row heights
Clear hierarchy with section headings centered above each table
Responsive width but optimized for desktop screens
Minimalist ERP-style appearance rather than a marketing dashboard
Focus on readability, density of information, and operational reporting
Data sources:
Revenue transactions table/view
Rental revenue transactions
Sales revenue transactions
Depot/location master data
Product master data
Product group/category master data
Date range filter input
Required calculations:
Total revenue for selected period
Revenue grouped by revenue type
Percentage share of total revenue by revenue type
Top rental revenue products ranked by revenue
Top sales revenue products ranked by revenue
Depot-filtered reporting
Date-range filtered reporting
The finished screen should resemble a traditional equipment hire, rental, construction, or industrial operations management reporting dashboard, prioritizing clarity, fast scanning, and accurate financial reporting over visual flair
AI Prompt (My Top Customers)
Show me a table of my top 3 customers. in the table show the customer’s name and the total income from that customer. Give the table header a dark blue background with white text.
Add a title above the table called "My Top 3 Customers". For the title use the font size 15px and make it bold.
AI Prompt (Invoices by Status)
Get all the invoices for the last 6 months and then show me a breakdown of the total for each status (draft, confirmed, issued and posted), hence, there should only be 4 lines in the table.
Give the widget an appropriate title in bold text, and show the start/end dates (using the date format "ddd DD MMM") underneath the title. For the title use the font size 15px.
Don't use any specific colours, just black text on a white background. Also, make sure that the invoice totals are shown in bold text.
AI Prompt (Product Availability)
Show me the availability for the following products from tomorrow to the end of this working week:
1. 1.5T Mini Excavator
2. 6T Dumper
3. 5kva Generator
4. Hydraulic Breaker
5. Hammer Drill
Show the information in a table, showing the product name and the quantity available. Make sure the quantity available is in bold text. Set the column width for the product name to 65%.
Give the list an appropriate title in bold text and also show the start/end dates underneath in muted text - centrally align this. For the title use the font size 15px.
If the quantity is less than 1 then colour the cell in red (colour code #fbb8b3), otherwise colour the cell green (colour code #bce1bd).
AI Prompt (My Timezones)
Show the current time in the following locations:
- UK
- South Africa
- Netherlands
- US
Show the data in nicely formatted cards stacked on top of each other and make sure the width fills the width of the widget.
Show the time as a 12h clock and show am/pm.
Show the country’s flag in the card, left aligned along with the country name and current time, centred in the remaining space. The country name should be bold.
Show a nice vertical progress bar on the far right of the card showing how far through the day it is based on the current time. The progress bar should be green if the time is before midday, light blue if greater than midday and less than 5pm, and if greater than 5pm show it in dark red. It should have a light grey background. The height of the progress bar should be no more than 35px and the width should be 10px. IMPORTANT: the progress of the bar should go in an upward direction - start from the bottom and go up!
Add a title above the cards called "My Time Zones". For the title use the font size 15px.
