Adding and Configuring a Dashboard Page

You add a page using the New Dashboard Page wizard. You then configure the elements of that page and the components that display on it using the Dashboard Page editor.

Dashboard users can be assigned multiple dashboard pages. To do so, you create collections of pages using views and assign them to user roles, as explained in Creating and Configuring a View
