Manage Your Sensor Dashboard
Learn how to set up, view, modify, share, and delete your sensor dashboards
Verkada’s Air Quality Sensors dashboards enable you to easily view, analyze, and display sensor data across all of your sensors within your environments on a smart display or status screen. You can easily access these dashboards from an external device through the air quality dashboard live links. You can also share and pair dashboards with any browser-compatible device.
Using different tiles, you can add multiple view types to pages in your dashboard and automatically cycle through them in Verkada Command or on a monitor.
The hierarchy for sensor dashboards is dashboards > pages > tiles. You can have multiple dashboards in your organization, each with multiple pages, and each page can contain multiple tiles.

Pair a dashboard
Dashboard pairing enables rapid deployment of Air Quality dashboards on smart TVs and displays that would otherwise be difficult to access via a link or keyboard. Pairing works by sharing a Live Link based on a successful synchronization, as described above.
Pairing a dashboard is currently only supported in US-based organizations.
