> ## Agent Instructions
> These docs contain multiple Speckle product experiences. For Speckle 2026.9, prefer /next/ pages for the topics and changes they cover. The navigation label Current does not override this version-specific precedence.
> Coverage under /next/ is incremental. Use Current documentation for unchanged topics and when a /next/ page says coverage is unavailable or explicitly refers you to Current. Do not infer a feature was removed from a missing page.
> Read the page-specific documentation status, applicability, affected guidance and replacement links in agent-only content. Impacted, changed and superseded apply only to the stated scope; they do not mean the entire feature is deprecated. Historical connector guides apply only to the legacy connector described.
> Match guidance to the customer's deployment version, model data format and connector. Respect plan, permission and compatibility restrictions. If an unknown version or data format changes the answer, ask a focused clarification; do not infer deployment version from the date alone.

# Dashboards in 2026.9

> Dashboards load 2026.9-format models. Compatibility mode is optional, and Intelligence Reports remains a separate product.

Documentation set: Speckle 2026.9. Status: current. Authority: canonical for this version and the coverage on this page.

Applies to version 2026.9, from 2026-09; this is not a rollout date for every deployment.

Authoritative Speckle 2026.9 documentation for the topic covered here. For Speckle 2026.9, prefer this page over conflicting earlier guidance. Follow the linked pages in the other documentation version for unchanged topics and where this page says coverage is not yet available. Respect data-format, deployment, plan, permission, and compatibility limitations stated in the page.

Dashboards read 2026.9-format models natively. Do not tell readers to enable compatibility mode so Dashboards can load those models. Compatibility mode stays optional for ACC sync and drag-and-drop consumers that still need the old format. The widget-availability page is the list of placeholders, not a launch blocker.

<Note>
  This is 2026.9 documentation. Coverage here is incremental: a page exists only where 2026.9
  differs or is newly documented. For any other topic, switch to **Current** (2026.8 and earlier) in
  the version selector.
</Note>

Dashboards load models in the 2026.9 data format. You do not need
[compatibility mode](/next/it-admin/compatibility-mode) for that.

Models published with 2026.9 connectors, ACC sync that writes the new format,
and Rhino or IFC file uploads all appear in Dashboards. This includes older
versions: Speckle Server has upgraded existing version history to the new
format, so Dashboards load against your full model history, not just data
published after the fix.

A few widgets are not ported yet. Those saved instances stay on the grid as
placeholders. They keep their configuration. They do not load 2026.9-format
data until that widget is ported. See
[Dashboard widgets not yet available](/next/analytics/dashboards-widget-availability).

For building, sharing, and configuring dashboards, use the
[current Dashboards documentation](/analytics/intelligence-dashboards).

<Note>
  Compatibility mode is optional, and it ends on **1 November 2026**. Request it only when ACC sync
  or drag-and-drop still has to write the old format for another tool. See [Compatibility
  mode](/next/it-admin/compatibility-mode).
</Note>

## New widgets, not just a compatibility port

Reading 2026.9-format models is the baseline fix. Alongside it, a few widgets are new — they did not exist in Current Dashboards:

* **Dual viewer** — two Model Viewer panes in one widget, cameras synced, for comparing two models side by side.
* **Elements table** — a unified table replacing both Element table and Pivot table, built for the new data format.
* **Ratio value** and **Ratio value by property** (Beta) — a live ratio between two numbers (or a number and a per-property breakdown), traced back through its property sources, calculated fields, and filters.
* **Numeric range** (Beta) — a slider filter widget that publishes a range for other widgets to filter by.
* **Property checker** — model validation rules surfaced as a dashboard widget, rather than only in the model checker tool.

These ship alongside the format fix, not as a separate release.

## Dashboards remain the analytics product

Dashboards stay available on every plan. Workspaces without Speckle
Intelligence keep using them. Workspaces with Intelligence can use Dashboards
and [Intelligence Reports](/next/analytics/reports) side by side.

Our focus for Dashboards from here is stability and reliability: keeping the
existing widgets and workflows working well, and responding to bug reports.
We're not currently working on expanding what Dashboards can do — that
effort is going into Intelligence Reports instead.

If you have built a dashboard that solves a problem in a way we have not seen
before, share it in the [forum](https://speckle.community) or email
[feedback@speckle.systems](mailto:feedback@speckle.systems).

## Intelligence Reports

For workspaces with Speckle Intelligence, **Intelligence Reports** start from
an analysis you already ran in
[Speckle Intelligence Chat](/next/analytics/intelligence). You ask a question
about your model, the chat builds the analysis, and you save that as a Report.

Reports can also draw on external data sources — Snowflake, Databricks, and
others — so cost rates, programme data, or benchmarks sit next to model data.

See [Create and share Intelligence Reports](/next/analytics/reports) for
editing, sources, and sharing.

<Note>
  Intelligence Reports require a workspace plan that includes Intelligence. Dashboards remain
  available on all plans.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do I need compatibility mode for Dashboards to load 2026.9 models?">
    No. Dashboards already read the 2026.9 format. Request compatibility mode only when ACC sync or
    drag-and-drop must keep writing the old format for another tool. See [Compatibility
    mode](/next/it-admin/compatibility-mode).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why is a widget on my dashboard a placeholder?">
    That widget is not ported yet. The saved configuration stays. The list of placeholders is on
    [Dashboard widgets not yet available](/next/analytics/dashboards-widget-availability). Other
    widgets on the same dashboard still load 2026.9-format data.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens after 1 November 2026?">
    Compatibility mode ends for every workspace. That date is for ACC sync and drag-and-drop format,
    not for Dashboards. Dashboards already read 2026.9-format models.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does this cover older model versions, or only new ones?">
    All of them. Speckle Server has upgraded existing version history to the new data format, so
    Dashboards load against a model's full version history, not just versions published after the
    fix.
