Hey y’all! Carolina from support here on more time 
Continuing our discussion on Data Output and Dashboard Data Output, in my previous post I explained the differences between them and why they matter. Now, let’s dive into some practical tips to help you reduce your Dashboard Data Output consumption:
1. Limit the number of records displayed per widget - Avoid loading more data than needed! Every record rendered counts against your limit. Set a reasonable record limit in your widget configuration.
2. Use shorter time filters - Reducing the time range displayed in your widgets (e.g., last 24 hours instead of last 30 days) can significantly decrease the amount of data loaded.
-
Per widget - adjust the date range directly in each widget’s settings.
-
Dashboard-wide - use the dashboard’s Date Range filter, which applies to all widgets at once.
3. Review widgets with high data volumes - Check if any widget is loading thousands of records that aren’t strictly necessary for your use case. Less is more.
4. Organize your dashboard with tabs - Instead of placing all widgets on a single page, split them across tabs. This ensures that only the widgets on the active tab are loaded, avoiding unnecessary data consumption from widgets that aren’t currently being viewed.
5. Enable Cache on as many widgets as possible - This is especially important for Chart and Table widgets, which tend to consume the most data.
6. Use the API Aggregate option when applicable - Instead of displaying all individual data points in Chart and Table widgets, configure them to show aggregated values (daily, weekly, or monthly). This can drastically reduce your data consumption.
