Learn more about the new Boards functionality and how it works

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Attest Boards make it easy to craft and share dynamic data stories directly from the Results Dashboard. Use Boards to:

  • Streamline data story creation: Seamlessly pull together filtered insights, customized charts, and important context into a flexible and interactive board.

  • Iterate and keep insights fresh: Boards automatically update with new data, ensuring your story evolves in real time to reflect the latest insights and filters applied.

  • Engage stakeholders with interactive insights: Boards strike a balance between static presentations and full dashboards, allowing you to highlight key charts while enabling stakeholders to explore data through interactive filters.

How to create and use Boards

Follow this step-by-step guide to start building your data stories using Attest Boards:

  1. Create a Board

    To create a board for a survey, start by going to the Results Dashboard for the desired survey. From here, you have two options to create a board:
    ​

    • Navigate to “Boards” in the left-hand menu and select the option to add a new board.

    • Click on “Add to board” on any chart within the Results Dashboard and create a new board instantly.

  2. Add charts to your Board

    Add charts directly from the Results Dashboard by clicking “Add to board” and selecting the board you wish to update. Alternatively, add charts directly on the board by clicking “Chart” at the bottom and selecting the relevant question.

  3. Add narrative text

    Enhance your board by adding text blocks to provide context, explanations, or summaries. This helps to tie your data together into a cohesive narrative.

  4. Edit your charts

    Tailor charts by clicking the edit icon on the top right. Choose from various chart types, exclude specific answers, or apply custom color themes to align with your brand.

  5. Apply filters

    You can dive deeper into the data for each chart by applying filters. Click on the filter icon at the top right of the chart and select the filter you want to add.

  6. Arrange & structure your board

    Customize your layout by dragging and dropping elements. Arrange charts and text blocks vertically or side-by-side to create compelling comparisons and narratives.

  7. Share your board

    Click “Share” to copy an editor or viewer access link. To generate a viewer link (accessible without an Attest account), make sure your results are set to public.
