Getting started
Ready to create your first dashboard? Here’s how to get started:Step 1: Set up your BI data connection
Before you can create dashboards, you need to configure a Business Intelligence app connection. This is essential because:- 5X BI requires a dedicated connection - BI needs its own app connection with specific permissions
- Choose your data source - Connect directly to your warehouse or use 5X’s Semantic Layer for unified metrics
- Secure access - BI connections use read-only permissions to protect your data while enabling analytics
