Building a dashboard by hand means choosing every widget, its metrics and its size. With MIA you describe what you want to see —“a Meta Ads dashboard for leads, with campaigns, ads and day by day”— and you get a dashboard of several pages, laid out in full rows so it reads the same on screen, in your clients' portal and in the PDF. Open MIA with ⌘J (Ctrl+J on Windows) or the MB AI button, from any screen.
What can I ask MIA for?
- A template for all your clients — in your workspace, MIA builds the whole template, with the pages and sources you ask for: “build a Google Ads template for ecommerce”. It stays a Draft until you ask it to publish it for your Accounts.
- A client's dashboard — in an Account, or from your workspace telling it which one, MIA builds the dashboard already connected to that Account's data: “create a Meta Ads dashboard for Clínica Norte”. If the Account has two accounts of the same platform, it asks you which one; if it has none connected, it takes you to Integrations.
- Changes to what's already built — add, change, move or remove widgets; add, rename, reorder or remove pages; change the period, the filter controls or the filters: “add the cost per result by day to the Campaigns page”, “remove the ads table”. It works on what MIA built and on what your team made by hand: only what the change touches moves.
- The same template in several Accounts — MIA builds the template and publishes it first; with the template ready, it creates the dashboard in each Account, always with your click —for several Accounts at once, in a single confirmation that says how many dashboards go to which Accounts—.
How does MIA decide what goes in?
MIA starts from how MB Suite's system dashboards are built —leads and ecommerce for each ad platform, YouTube video campaigns, Google Analytics 4, Search Console, Business Profile, your YouTube channel, organic social, ad previews and the ones that bring several platforms together— and adapts them to what you asked for: it chooses the pages, the metrics and the type of each widget. A typical page:
- Opens with a row of KPIs, compared with the previous period.
- Follows with the page's main table —by campaign, ad set, ad or day—, sorted by spend or by results.
- And, when they add something, two charts side by side: lines for a trend over time, bars for months or a few categories, a pie for a share (never a pie over time).
Unless you ask for another one, the period is the last 30 days, and titles and pages go in the language you write in. MIA only asks what it can't work out —which Account, which of two accounts of the same platform, or whether a change is for one Account or for all of them—; it builds the rest and then offers you adjustments.
What does the card show?
Depending on your level and on what you ask for, MIA proposes the dashboard, asks you to confirm it or has already built it; in all three cases, the card draws it:
- The summary — where it goes and how big it is, with its platforms and its period: Workspace template · 5 pages · 31 widgets · Meta · Last 30 days.
- The pages, in tabs — each one with its map: the grid at scale, with KPIs, tables and charts in different colors. Below, in words, what goes on it: 6 KPIs: Amount Spent, Impressions, Reach…, vs. the previous period or “Performance by Campaign” table: 7 columns, sorted by Amount Spent.
- In a change — what's new, what changes and what's removed, marked on the map, counted at the top (2 new · 1 changed · 1 removed) and told in words: New in “Campaigns”: …, Removing: table “Performance by Ad”, The “Overview” page becomes “Summary”.
- The notices, in amber — whether your client will see it in the portal, whether an Account gets its own copy, how many Accounts change, or whether the template stays a draft or gets published.
- See the full design — opens it larger, with every line in detail: the columns and the metrics by name.
- The buttons — the usual ones: Apply, Adjust and Dismiss on a proposal; on a confirmation, a button that says exactly what it does, such as Build the dashboard; and on the result, Open —the template's editor or the dashboard— and Undo.
Before running a confirmation, MB Suite checks again: if the template changed in the meantime, nothing runs and the card shows you the new design to confirm again.
Why does a client's dashboard always ask for my click?
Because an Account's dashboard shows up right away in its client's portal, if the portal shows dashboards: there's no step in between. That's why creating, changing or reverting a dashboard in an Account always waits for your click, even with MIA set to Acts, and also when it comes from a template. The card carries the Your client sees it label and tells you: “Your client will see it in the Clínica Norte portal as soon as you confirm it.”
The same goes for a workspace template that your Accounts' dashboards already use —also if you moved it back to draft—: changing it changes them all at once. That's why the card tells you how many Accounts change, and so does the button: Apply to 12 accounts.
This Account only, or all of them?
Often, an Account's dashboard comes from a workspace template that other Accounts use too. When you ask for a change there, MIA asks you:
- This Account only — the Account gets its own copy of the template, with the change, and from then on stops receiving the changes made to the workspace template. The card warns you before.
- All of them — the change is made on the template, from the workspace, and it changes the dashboard of every Account that uses it: the card tells you how many. If you're talking to MIA inside the Account, that change is requested from the workspace.
If the dashboard comes from a system template, MIA can only give it its own copy: MB Suite's templates aren't changed.
How do I undo what MIA did?
- Undo, on the result card, reverts it. What MIA built goes to the trash: a template, or an Account's dashboard together with its own template, as a single item you restore whole.
- A change goes back to how it was, for 30 days. If someone changed it afterwards —in the editor or with another request—, Undo doesn't overwrite that work: it tells you it can no longer be undone.
- Undoing an own copy takes the Account's dashboard back to the shared template and deletes the copy.
What's in the trash can be restored by the owner and the admins within 30 days: see Recover what was deleted: the organization's Trash.
And if I have the template open in the editor?
The editor doesn't step on MIA's change. If MIA changes the template from your panel while you have it open and you had nothing pending, the editor updates on its own: what's new glows green for a moment, what changed glows amber, and a notice says “The template changed and was updated”. If you had unsaved changes, a band at the top of the editor lets you choose between Use the new version and Keep my changes. The detail is in Manage your dashboard templates: filters, order and states. The dashboards list, the templates list and the dashboard you have open also update on their own when you apply, confirm or undo on a card, or when MIA acts on its own in Acts.
What doesn't MIA build yet?
- Monitors, reports and Cross-Account Dashboards.
- Text, image and separator widgets: you add them in the editor. If a page made by hand has them, MIA's changes leave them in place.
If you ask for one of those, MIA tells you on a card and offers you the alternative: a dashboard with those numbers, a report from a template, or the editor for texts and images. See When MIA can't do something yet, and how to pass a request to support. Nor does it put two accounts of the same platform in one dashboard, or use custom metrics that combine several platforms (single-platform ones, it does).
Who can ask for it?
Whoever has Edit on Dashboards: MIA works with your permissions and never more. With read-only access, MIA answers about your dashboards but doesn't build or change them. Like every request to MIA, it uses your account's AI credits (see How MIA uses your AI credits).
Still have questions?
Ask MIA, the MB Suite AI assistant: open it with the MB AI button (⌘J) in the top bar. MIA knows the section you're in, so you can ask it about what you see on screen — and it can also answer how-to questions about using MB Suite.
