Create Dashboard

You can create a new dashboard to combine multiple views—such as worksheets, charts, gauges, and maps—into a single, interactive page. Use dashboards to monitor key metrics, track performance, and quickly access the data most relevant to your work. You can customize layouts, apply filters, and control who can view or edit the contents.

When you create a dashboard, you start with a blank canvas and then add and arrange views to suit your needs. You can also define permissions, sharing options, and how the dashboard behaves when it opens.
