I have a dashboard with several canvas panels. Each panel is created by values from a mssql db. It is possible to automatically create a new canvas panel based on the values of the db? If a new value is added to the db i want to automatically see in the dashboard a new canvas panel.

For the dashboard-repeat function  
each line in your DB must be unique. You therefore need an index which must be a dashboard variable.  
You can then select this in the dashboard repeat options.

What does your data look like?
