# Dashboards

> Create customizable visual dashboards to monitor and analyze your project's performance metrics at a glance.

Dashboards are customizable visual representations of your project's performance metrics. They provide an intuitive overview of your data, enabling you to monitor and analyze key insights at a glance. You can create multiple views tailored to your specific needs to track progress, identify trends, and make informed decisions.

## Getting started

Before using the dashboards module:

* Set up [event tracking](/project-configuration/events-tracking).
* Connect at least one [data source](/project-configuration/data-sources/overview).
* Define at least one [conversion](/project-configuration/conversions).

## Navigation

* Access the dashboards module by navigating to the **Dashboards** tab in the main menu.
* Switch between different dashboards by clicking on the dashboard name.

## Date filters

The date filter in the top right lets you specify a date range to view metrics and charts, or compare two distinct periods such as the previous week.

## Creating dashboards

Your project comes with a default "Overview" dashboard displaying basic metrics. You can customize it or create a new one.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the dashboard menu">
    Click on the name of the current dashboard in the left part of the top menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a new dashboard">
    Click **+ Add dashboard**.

  <Step title="Enter edit mode">
    Click the three-dot menu at the top right of your screen and select **Edit**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Arrange your dashboard">
    While in edit mode, you can:

    * Rearrange blocks by dragging and dropping them.
    * Resize blocks by dragging the lower right corner.
    * Add new widgets by clicking **+ Add widget** in the top menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save changes">
    Click the **Save** button on the top right corner. All adjustments are shared with users who have access to the project.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Widget settings

When adding or editing a widget, you can preview it before adding it to your dashboard.

### Configuration

In the Configuration tab, select the visualization type and the metric you want to display.

### Filters

Use the Filters tab to apply filters to metrics based on dimension values.

Each filter row represents a rule. For example, to view data exclusive to visitors from the UK:

1. Select Dimension: **Country**
2. Choose Operator: **is equal to**
3. Pick the value for the United Kingdom from the dropdown.

You can establish multiple rules and connect them using **AND** or **OR** logic.

Examples:

* Display metrics where **Ad platform is equal to Facebook Ads** AND **Country is equal to United Kingdom**
* Display metrics where **Country is equal to United Kingdom** OR **Country is equal to United States**
* Display metrics where **Campaign contains the word SALE**

Widgets with applied filters can be identified by the filter list icon. Hovering over it displays the dimensions used in the applied filters.
