# Self-serve dashboards

Let anyone build a custom dashboard in plain English

Business teams ask for the report they need and Rig builds a governed, custom dashboard on your modelled data, so the data team stops being a ticket queue.

## The problem

Every custom report is a ticket to the data team, so business users wait days for a chart and the data team drowns in one-off requests. BI tools were meant to fix this but most people still cannot build what they need.

## Built from Rig's building blocks

Rig is not a fixed template. It is a set of building blocks, and this app is one way to assemble them. Take what you need, then shape the workflow around your own pain.

Modelled, governed data in the context layer

RBAC so people only see what they should

Shareable apps that stay live on source data

## How to build it

1. 1
   
   ### Govern the data first
   
   With your modelled tables and RBAC in the context layer, business users can only ever query data they are allowed to see.
2. 2
   
   ### Ask for the dashboard
   
   A user describes the view they want in Claude, 'MRR and churn by plan, last 12 months', and Rig builds it on the governed model.
3. 3
   
   ### Trust the numbers
   
   Because every chart runs on the same modelled definitions, a self-built dashboard shows the same number a data analyst would.
4. 4
   
   ### Share and reuse
   
   Publish the dashboard as a live app for the team. Anyone can spin up their own variant, so the data team stops being a queue.

## The outcome

Business teams build the reports they need themselves, on governed data, and the data team moves from ticket queue to platform owner.
