Adding reports to dashboards

After you create a report, you can add it to dashboards that you created or cloned from other dashboards.

Tip: All of the items you can add to a dashboard (like reports, filters, text, and images) are known as widgets. For information about adding other widget types, see Adding and arranging dashboard widgets.

2. In the dashboard builder, click Add in the top left.
3. From the dropdown list, select Add report.

   

4. From the list of reports, select one or more reports that you want to add to the dashboard. You can sort the list of reports by name or last update time.

The selected reports are added to the dashboard. See Customizing dashboards for what you can do next.
