Create and customize pages

Create pages to build dashboards, structure information, and guide users through your app.

Pages give you a flexible space to shape how people work with your app, for example by building dashboards that bring important information together in a clear, useful way. Add charts, metric cards, buttons, and filtered views to help users focus on what matters most and make daily work feel faster and easier.

When you add forms or views, keep the layout focused:

  • Use tabs, headings, spacing, and line breaks to group related content.

  • Hide technical fields with conditional display rules or user-specific access.

  • Create filtered views so users can find records faster.

Create a page

1

Open the page menu

In the app navigation, click the arrow next to + Create table. Select Create page.

2

Enter the page name

Enter a value in Name. Ninox creates the Internal name automatically. Change the Internal name only if you need a different value.

3

Choose an icon and color

Click the icon picker. Select an icon and a color for the page. Click Confirm to apply your choice.

4

Create the page

Click Create page. The new page appears in the app navigation.

Build a dashboard on the page

Use the page as a dashboard to highlight the data that matters most.

1

Add dashboard widgets

Open the page in Builder mode. In the right panel, open Add. Add the views and components you need.

2

Choose how to visualize the data

Use widgets such as:

  • Charts for trends and comparisons

  • Kanban for stage-based work

  • Metric cards for key numbers

  • Map for location-based data

3

Configure each widget

Select a widget on the page. Open Settings in the right panel. Adjust the data source, display, and behavior for that widget.

Start with one or two widgets first. Then refine the layout after the data displays correctly.

Share a dashboard without showing source tables

Pages work well when users need insight from several tables, but do not need to work in those tables directly.

For example, you can create one dashboard that combines data from several related tables, such as projects, tasks, and invoices. That dashboard can stay visible for workspace users who can access the app, including users with the Viewer role.

To keep the interface focused, hide the source tables from the app navigation and leave the dashboard visible. This gives users one clear place to review key information.

Keep in mind that hiding a table from navigation only removes it from the menu. If the source tables contain sensitive data, also use table and field permissions to control who can read the underlying records and fields. For more on roles and permissions, see Manage workspace access.
