# Dashboards

Dashboards let you build **persistent, shareable views** over your observability data. Use them for on-call playbooks, service health boards, incident investigation layouts, and any view you want to revisit without rebuilding queries in Explore.

Dashboards are built from **widgets** (charts, tables, stats, text, and grouped sections), filtered with **variables**, and scoped to a **time range**. Changes are saved per dashboard and can be shared with your team.

Easily create a new Dashboard [using our guide](/use-groundcover/dashboards-and-alerts/create-a-dashboard.md).
