Who can create one
Only a user with Full Access for dashboards can create a dashboard.
Editor works with existing dashboards that have been shared with them, rather than creating new ones.
What happens on creation
1
The dashboard is created Private
A newly created dashboard is Private by default. Only you can see it until you share it.
2
You are assigned ownership
The creator becomes the owner, which is what allows duplication and deletion later.
3
Add charts
Pin existing charts you have access to. You can only add charts you are allowed to access.
4
Share it
Move the dashboard to Restricted or Project-wide when it is ready for others. See Sharing.
Adding charts
There are two routes onto a dashboard:Pin from an analysis
Configure an analysis, then pin its visualization to Overview, an existing dashboard, or a new one.
Save a template
Configure a template and use Save as Dashboard. The result lands in Saved Dashboards.
The same chart can be pinned to more than one dashboard. This is useful when a single metric matters across different team views.
