Dashboards

The dashboard typically includes widgets, such as charts, tables, and graphs, clearly and concisely displaying data. Users can drill down into the details of each widget to get a more comprehensive view of the underlying data. The dashboard may also include alerts and notifications that inform users of critical events or changes in the data.

Steps

1. Go to 

   

    → <<your solution>>

    →  Setup
3. Navigate to Dashboards. Here, you can see three dashboard menus: Dashboards, Dashboard Settings, and Dashboard Widgets.
4. Select Dashboards. You will find the Default dashboard. We will keep this default dashboard and create a new one from here.
   

   

5. Click the plus sign icon 

   

   to create a new customized dashboard.

6. Enter a Name for the dashboard. The Permanent Code field will be auto-populated based on the name you entered (but you can override this if you like, ensuring that there are no special characters or whitespaces used)

7. Add a brief Description.
   

   

8. Save your new dashboard.

9. Click on the hyperlink of your new dashboard to open it.
