How to Create a Custom Dashboard

Overview 

A custom dashboard is a report you build yourself, with its own name, audience, and target platform. When you create one you give it a name and optional description, choose who can view and edit it, decide whether it appears on web or mobile, and optionally set it to be emailed automatically. This lets you deliver exactly the reporting your team needs rather than relying only on the default dashboard.
