1. Select the dashboard you need.
1. At the top right, click ![image](../../../_assets/console-icons/gear.svg) **Settings** and select **Parameters**.
1. Click **Add parameter**.
1. Configure the parameter and click **Save**.

You can [substitute a parameter](../../concepts/visualization/dashboard.md#templates) when [adding a widget to the dashboard](add-widget.md).

1. At the top right of the chart panel, click ![image](../../../_assets/console-icons/gear.svg).
1. Open the **General** section.
1. Configure **Repeat graphs**:
   1. In the **Repeat by parameter** list, select the previously created parameter.
   1. In the **Number of graphs per row** list, select the number of charts to arrange in a single row.
1. Close the settings panel and click ![image](../../../_assets/console-icons/floppy-disk.svg) at the top right.
1. Go back to the dashboard to check the new charts.
1. Select different values for the parameters in the list at the top and you will see the charts updated to reflect your selection.
