For most users, the Arize platform’s user interface (UI) offers the optimal experience for creating dashboards. The UI provides a live preview of your dashboard, making it easy to visualize changes as you add widgets. Moreover, with Arize’s customizable dashboard templates, you can quickly tailor dashboards to suit your specific requirements.

However, there are scenarios where programmatically creating dashboards might better serve your needs.If you aim to replicate a particular set of widgets across various dashboards, efficiently clone an entire dashboard, or integrate dashboard creation into your automated onboarding workflows, programmatic creation provides exceptional flexibility. This method allows you to handle custom and repeatable dashboard requirements effectively, providing a scalable solution for complex environments.
