# Creating carousel dashboards
## Optimize industrial data visualization with carousel dashboards on K2 App. Facilitate rapid decision-making and enhance access to key information.
**Carousel dashboards with K2 App** offer an effective solution for displaying multiple dashboards on a single unified interface that scrolls automatically. This multiplies internal displays without requiring manual manipulation, thus facilitating the dissemination of relevant information at all levels of the organization.
### What is a carousel dashboard with K2 App?
A **carousel dashboard** in **K2 App** is a feature that allows you to automatically scroll through several different dashboards at a defined time interval. This infinite rotation of displays is particularly useful in production areas, supervision rooms, or executive offices. It provides a comprehensive and dynamic overview of the situation without the need for manual intervention to change the display.
### The advantages of carousel dashboards
- **Multiplication of displays**: Allows multiple relevant interfaces to be displayed on a single screen, optimizing space and time.
- **Improved decision-making**: Key information is visible in real-time, helping to react quickly to critical situations.
- **Efficient information dissemination**: Shares important data with all teams, strengthening internal communication and coordination.
- **Significant time savings**: Avoids manual manipulation to change dashboards, allowing focus on higher-value tasks.
### How to create a carousel dashboard with K2 App
Follow the steps below to **create your own carousel dashboard in K2 App** and optimize the visualization of your industrial data.
#### Step 1: Access dashboard creation
1. **Open K2App's main menu**: In the main interface, click on the sidebar menu icon represented by three horizontal bars at the top left of the screen.
2. **Add a new dashboard**: Click on the "+" button to add a new item to your workspace.
3. **Select the type of dashboard**: In the dropdown menu that appears, choose **"New Dashboard"** to start the configuration.
#### Step 2: Configure the carousel dashboard
A window titled **"Create a New Dashboard"** opens. Fill in the following information to optimize your carousel dashboard:
- **Dashboard name**: Enter a clear and explicit name, for example, "Production Carousel," to easily identify your dashboard among others.
- **Detailed description**: Add a precise description to explain the purpose and content of the dashboard.
- **Image URL** *(optional)*: Insert the URL of an associated image to customize the appearance of your dashboard.
- **Dashboard type**: Select **"Carousel"** from the dropdown menu to define the type of dashboard.
- **Folder location**: Choose the folder where your carousel dashboard will be saved for better organization.
- **\[NEW\] Navigation mode**: choose between an automatic or manual navigation for selected content.
- **Time interval (in seconds)**: Indicate the time each dashboard will be displayed before moving to the next one (e.g., "10" for 10 seconds).
- **Selection of dashboards**: Click on **"Select"** to choose the dashboards to include in the carousel. Check those that are relevant to your team and objectives.
- **User permissions**: Select the users or groups who will have access to this dashboard, ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive data.
- **Relevant tags**: Add relevant keywords, such as "Production," "Quality," "Performance," to facilitate future searches and improve internal referencing.
*Tip*: The order of selection determines the display order. Place the most critical or most viewed dashboards first to maximize their visibility.
Once all fields are completed, click on the **"Add"** button to create your carousel dashboard.
#### Step 3: Access and display the carousel dashboard
1. **Return to the main menu**: Click again on the sidebar menu icon to access your list of dashboards.
2. **Locate your carousel dashboard**: In the list, find the carousel dashboard you just created using its name or associated tags.
3. **Open the dashboard**: Click on the dashboard's name to display it and start visualizing your data.
#### Step 4: Visualize and use the carousel
The first selected dashboard appears on the screen. After the defined time interval (e.g., 10 seconds), the display automatically switches to the next dashboard. The **carousel will continue to scroll through the dashboards in an infinite loop**, offering a dynamic and updated visualization of your industrial data.
### Best practices for carousel dashboards in K2 App
- **Name your dashboards clearly**: Use descriptive names and include relevant keywords to facilitate navigation and understanding by all users.
- **Determine which navigation type for consultation** : depending of content type, determine if users must have full control on the carousel dashboard.
- **Strategically organize the display order**: Place the most important dashboards for your team first to ensure they are viewed as a priority.
- **Adapt the time interval to the content**: Choose a sufficient delay to allow the complete reading of information on each dashboard without rushing.
- **Carefully manage permissions**: Ensure that only authorized users have access to the carousel, especially if some data is sensitive or confidential.
- **Use relevant tags**: Tags facilitate the search and classification of your dashboards, thus improving internal referencing in K2 App.
- **Test the carousel before deployment**: Before deploying it on a large scale, verify that all dashboards display correctly and that the carousel functions as intended.
- **Regularly update dashboards**: Keep your dashboards up to date so that the information displayed is always relevant and current.
