About
Dash comes with several data sources which feed the Dash blocks with information. These sources combine data from diverse areas – such as student details, enrollments, and completion statuses.
You can choose a data source when you add a Dash block. Each data source can include:
Fields – The actual information points (e.g., username, course name).
Conditions – Rules that restrict which data is included in the outcome.
Filters – Options that allow the end-user to search or narrow down the displayed data.
These components can be further configured in the Dash block preferences settings.
