Custom Boards – Tailored Code Quality Dashboards

Custom Boards: Build Dashboards That Match Your Needs

Every team has different goals and priorities. Custom Boards let you build dashboards that reflect what matters most to your project, your team, and your quality objectives.

Instead of relying on fixed reports, Custom Boards allow you to compose meaningful views using a wide range of widgets.

A Flexible Set of Widgets

Custom Boards support multiple widget types that can be combined to create powerful and informative dashboards.

  • Rule Widgets – Track specific coding rules and violations
  • Query Widgets – Display results of custom code queries
  • Chart Widgets – Visualize trends and distributions
  • Metric Widgets – Monitor key metrics at a glance
  • Summary Widgets – Get a high-level overview of code quality
  • Call Graph Widgets – Visualize runtime relationships
  • Gate Widgets – Enforce quality gates and thresholds

Widgets can be arranged and resized to create clear, focused views tailored to different audiences.

From Technical Detail to Executive Overview

Custom Boards adapt to different roles within a team.

  • Developers can track hotspots and refactoring targets
  • Tech leads can monitor design and architectural health
  • Managers can follow quality trends and gate status

The same analysis data can be presented in ways that fit each perspective.

Quality Gates Made Visible

Gate widgets make quality objectives explicit and measurable.

  • Define thresholds on metrics, rules, or technical debt
  • Instantly see pass/fail status
  • Detect regressions early

This makes quality expectations clear and actionable across the team.

Share and Align

Custom Boards make it easy to share insights and align the team around common quality goals.

  • Standardize dashboards across projects
  • Use boards as communication tools
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives

By turning analysis results into visual, role-oriented dashboards, Custom Boards help teams make better decisions faster.
