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. 

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.
