You can set up dashboards to show summary information related to your projects or for your organization overall.
To access your dashboards, you can either select the Dashboards tab or the Dashboards option on the User Menu.
Creating Dashboards
You can create new dashboards from the Manage Dashboards grid. Click on Add from the toolbar.
Enter the dashboard name on the Create New Dashboard dialog. You can then choose to either keep our dashboard private or to share with other users or groups of users.
If you plan to share your dashboard, in the View Only field, select the users and/ or groups you wish to provide access to from the dropdown. Note that only owners can add and configure portlets, however once the dashboard is shared then any user can then take ownership of the dashboard.
Click on Save to create your new dashboard.
