# About Dashboards and Notebooks

Dashboards and Notebooks extend the **Search** page. You write a SQL query, turn its result into a widget (chart, table or pivot), and place widgets on a dashboard. Notebooks chain several queries together, with notes between them.

              The legacy Dashboards and Notebooks are being deprecated

              

The legacy Dashboards and Notebooks will be removed soon.

- **Notebooks** have already been migrated for you. Your legacy notebooks are available in the new Notebooks.
- **Dashboards** are not migrated automatically. Rebuild the ones you need as new dashboards. For help, contact Hunters Support or your TAM.

## Three things that explain most behavior

**A widget is a copy, not a link.** When you add a chart to a dashboard, the dashboard gets its own private copy of the query. Later edits never flow in either direction: not from the original query to the dashboard, and not back.

**The dashboard time range applies to each widget separately.** Each widget names one of its columns as its time column, and the dashboard's time range filters that column. A widget with no time column ignores the time range entirely.

**Results are cached and shared.** Widgets show a cached result, and *Last updated* tells you its age. A result expires after 24 hours. A refresh or a scheduled email replaces the cached result for everyone viewing the dashboard.

## Data types

SQL mode runs against one of three data types:

| Data type | Contains | SQL dialect |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **RAW Data** | Your events as ingested (source tables) | Snowflake |
| **OCSF Data** | The same events, normalized to OCSF | Snowflake |
| **Analytics** | Hunters' own findings: leads, alerts, scores, assignees, audit logs | PostgreSQL |
