A dashboard is a customizable page consisting of the data you need to perform your role. Dashboard data appears in one or more smaller regions called portlets.
There are three types of dashboards:
- User dashboards are private workspaces you create or customize that are not available to other users. Use them to organize information meaningful to you. For example, a dashboard that only contains My Activities, My Projects, My Documents, and My Calendar.
- Multi-user dashboards are accessible to a specific group of users you select. If another user configures a dashboard for your use, you can view it on the Dashboards Home page. Only the dashboard's creator can modify its content, layout, or access. Dashboards created by other users and made available to you should contain project or resource information relevant to you.
- Global dashboards contain information relevant to all users. All users can view them. You must have the appropriate security privileges to create, edit, and delete global dashboards.
