About Studio Dashboards

Studio allows you to create customizable dashboards featuring charts and tables called widgets. You can arrange the widgets freely around the dashboard’s canvas. We recommend creating separate dashboards for different purposes and target audiences.

Qtip: A single dashboard can hold up to 25 reporting widgets and up to 50 content widgets. See more on content vs. reporting widgets.

Creating a Studio Dashboard

In Studio, you can create any number of dashboards for different business needs.

Qtip: You need the Create Dashboard permission to perform the steps below.

  7. Add or delete dashboard labels (optional).
  8. Add a folder the dashboard should be saved in (optional).
