Storm Analytics takes you from a blank workspace to a live dashboard with real data. This guide covers connecting your first data source, creating a dashboard, adding a chart, and sharing it with your team.

​
Before you begin

Make sure you have the following ready before you start:
  • Credentials for the data source you plan to connect (database hostname, username, password, or API key for a SaaS source)
  • Admin or Member role in your workspace

​
Steps

1

Connect a data source

Go to Analytics → Data sources → Add source. Select your source type, enter connection details, and click Test connection. Once the test passes, save the source. See Connect a Data Source for full instructions.
2

Create a dashboard

Go to Analytics → Dashboards → New dashboard. Give it a name that reflects the data or team it serves.
3

Add a chart

Inside the dashboard, click Add chart. Select your data source, choose a chart type (bar, line, or number card), and configure the x-axis and y-axis fields. Click Save.
4

Share your dashboard

Click Share in the dashboard header. Copy the link or generate an embed code. Set an access level to control who can view the shared link.
If your data source requires an allowlisted IP, add the platform’s outbound IP addresses to your firewall rules before testing the connection.
