Dashboards are useful for providing a user with an overview of their workload, or for a manager to see how their team is functioning. Dashboards show the data in the Common Data Service in real time.
A dashboard is a single pane showing components from one or more entities. The components are not linked and are not refreshed automatically.
Dashboards can have the following components:
- Charts
- Lists (views)
- IFrames
- Web resources
- Relationship assistant cards (for Dynamics 365 Sales)
- Power BI tiles (personal dashboards only)
You create a standard dashboard from your solution by clicking + New and then selecting Dashboard. You choose a layout and then select the charts and views you want to use.
There is a maximum of six components that can be included on a dashboard.
Interactive experience dashboards have more functionality and are aimed at providing a centralized workspace for a user.
