Creating a text tile
Add text tile to put some static text — title, subtitle, and body — on the dashboard. This text may describe the entire dashboard or a section of it.
Creating a visualization tile
Add a visualization tile to display agent events or interaction events. Looker documentation refers to visualization tiles as query tiles. In a visualization — or query — tile, firstly choose an Explore depending on the data you want to display — either Agent Events, Groups, Interaction Events, Interaction Summary, Skills, or Users.
Exploring data
After choosing an Explore (Agent Events, Groups, Interaction Events, Interaction Summary, Skills, or Users), you can see all the available data you can with on when creating a tile. On the left you can see s field picker containing filter-only fields, dimensions, and measures. Use the tooltip alongside each dimension and measure to see its description. For information about all the fields in each explore, see Historical Analytics fields.
To specify the data you want to appear in the tile, click required dimensions and measures. In Looker, dimensions appear as blue columns and measures appear as orange columns in the data table. Click Run to see the data.

When you have finished making changes, click Add or Update. As a final step, to save the whole dashboard, click Save in the top right corner.
Changing default time zone
All default dashboards display data by default in the viewer's time zone according to their browser’s configuration.

Now all data in the tiles in the dashboard will be displayed in the selected time zone unless the viewer chooses a different time zone.
Scheduling delivery of a dashboard
If a user does not have access to Analytics, but you have a Creator or Viewer license, you can send the user an email containing a copy of a dashboard. You can send the email to an individual user or to a group recipients either immediately or on a repeat basis. To send a dashboard, you must be viewing the dashboard (not in edit mode). Go to Dashboard actions and click Schedule delivery.
