This ensures that stakeholders always have access to the latest information, enhancing decision-making based on the most current data. - **Powerful Data Representation: **The charts displayed by the macro are built with the Dashboard Hub app – which means that your documents can be strengthened with nearly 100 powerful metrics, pre-defined templates, custom charts, formula cards, and much more. - **Automation and Efficiency: **Integrating live data eliminates the need for manual data updates and chart generation. This automation not only saves time but also reduces the risk of data entry errors. ## How to start 1. From a Confluence page, search for the Dashboard Hub macro. 2. Then, you can either select one of your already **existing dashboards** or **create a new one**. 3. When you have selected the dashboard you want to embed, click **Save**. 4. Resize the macro however you prefer to represent it. We recommend using Confluence layouts to embed the Custom Chart macro in a beautiful way.
