# Add, remove and edit KPI cards on a dashboard

> Edit a Mammoth dashboard's KPI strip: add or remove cards, set metric, aggregation and format, highlight a hero card, and limit a card to some rows.
>
> Applies to: Roles: Anyone with edit access to the board. Where: Dashboard editor › click the KPI strip › Edit KPIs

Click the KPI strip on the canvas in the dashboard editor to open **Edit KPIs**, where you edit, add and remove the cards. You choose the metric, format and labels; the number is always computed from your data. Anyone with edit access to the board can change them, and **Save changes** or **Cancel** applies or drops your edits.

| Panel note |

| "The number is always computed from your data — you choose the metric, format and labels." |

## Change the look of the KPI strip

**Look** sets the card style: **Cards**, **Accent**, **Tinted** or **Strip**. It applies to the KPI strip on every page, and saves as soon as you pick it, without waiting for **Save changes**.

## Let readers see the rows behind a KPI card

Under **Readers can**, the **See the rows** toggle lets a reader click a card to see the records behind it. It applies to the whole strip, only signed-in viewers get it, and it appears only where the board can serve rows. See [What readers can do with a chart](https://mammoth.io/docs/learn/dashboards/chart-reader-actions/).

## Edit the cards in the strip

The **Cards** list shows every card; a star marks the highlighted card. Click a card to edit it, **Add KPI** to add one, or a card's bin (for example "Remove West revenue") to delete it. The foot of the panel reads, for example, "4 of 8 cards".

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Metric** | The measure the card shows. The value is always aggregated from the data. |
| **Aggregation** | **Sum** (default), **Average**, **Min**, **Max**, **Count**, **Distinct**, **Median** or **Std dev**. **Distinct** counts unique values. |
| **Label** | The card's caption. |
| **Decimals** | 0, 1 or 2. |
| **Prefix** / **Suffix** | A symbol before or after the number, such as $ or %. Clear the box for none. |
| **Show delta** | Shows the ↑ / ↓ % change against last month. On by default. |
| **Sparkline** | A small trend line under the value. On by default. If sparklines are off for the page, it's disabled with "Sparklines are hidden for this page — ask the assistant to show sparklines." |
| **Highlight** | Makes this the hero card. Only one card can be highlighted. |

Some settings are only in the chat: which direction counts as good (this sets the delta colour), averages per entity, and a card icon.

## Limit a KPI card to some rows, such as one region

**Rows this card reads** shows which rows feed the card, for example "Every row" or "Region = West". Click **Add condition** to add a field, an operator and a value; sample values appear as chips you can click. Half-finished conditions are dropped when you save.

To show West-region revenue on its own card:

1. Click **Add KPI**.
2. Set **Metric** to Revenue and **Label** to "West revenue".
3. Add the condition Region = West.

## Limits for KPI cards

| Item | Limit |
|---|---|
| KPI cards per strip | Up to 8, and at least one must remain. A board that already has more than 8 shows its own count as the limit. |
| Highlighted KPI cards | One |
