How to Manage Dashboard?

There are two types of dashboards, system-defined "Default Dashboard" and "User Dashboards". Any user can create a dashboard visible only to them in their work areas such as Sales, Service, or Marketing.

1. Default Dashboard
2. Creating a New Dashboard

Dashboards are collections of view lists and charts. The various types of charts are bar, pie, line, column, Funnel.

A user can choose to set their user dashboard as their default dashboard and override the system dashboard. This topic focuses on system dashboards.
