Analytics

Add a chart

Learn how to add a pre-built or custom chart to a dashboard via the web app in LambdaAssetCheck, so the board shows the question you need answered.

Last updated: October 2026

What you'll need

Tier	Professional. Pre-built and custom charts both require it. Advanced can open Analytics. Basic cannot.
Platform	Web app
Permission	The Create dashboards capability under Analytics. Owner, Administrator, Site Manager, Inspector, Auditor, and Safety Manager have it by default. Viewer has View only.
Where	Analytics → Open on a dashboard you created → Add chart. A default dashboard opens on its own.

Add a pre-built chart

Select Analytics in the sidebar.
If a list appears, select Open on a dashboard you created.
Select Add chart.
If area buttons appear, select All areas or one area, such as Asset inspections or Audits & flags. A dashboard built for one area lists only that area.
Select Add to dashboard on the chart you want.

Add a chart with All areas selected, Add custom chart, and pre-built charts such as Inspections by Site, each with Add to dashboard

The chart is saved onto that dashboard. Add another, or build one with Add custom chart.

Important: A chart already on this dashboard shows On dashboard, and Add to dashboard stays unavailable.

Add a custom chart

Select Add chart, then Add custom chart.
Choose a data type. When the dashboard is not limited to one area, the choices include Inspections, Audits, Incidents, Tasks, Schedules, and Assets. A single-area dashboard lists only its own types.
Choose a Metric. Flag measures are listed on Audits only.
Under Attribute, choose how to group the chart. Bar, line, pie, and donut charts take up to two attributes. Table takes up to four. Matrix needs two.
Under Filters, narrow which records are included. Skip this to use the records you can already access.
Choose a Chart type. Types that do not fit the metric and attributes stay unavailable.
Select Save Chart. Enter a Chart name, then select Save Chart again.

The chart is placed on the dashboard you have open.

Limitations

Charts include only the sites you can access. A dashboard shared with you does not reveal other sites.
Rounds appears as an area and as a data type only when rounds are enabled for the organisation.
The custom builder has no permits data type. Add a pre-built chart from Control of work, such as Overdue permits.
Analytics needs a connection. Offline, the page returns you to Home.

Frequently asked questions

I cannot see Add chart.

You need the Professional plan, Create dashboards, and a dashboard you created. View lets you open a shared dashboard without Add chart.

On Advanced, the analytics workspace shows Add chart but leaves it unavailable.

On Basic, Analytics returns you to Home.

Why is a chart type unavailable?

The type does not fit the metric and the attributes you chose. Change one of those, or pick a type that stays available, such as Bar chart or Table.
