> Create and manage tailored analytics dashboards with summary cards, widget counts, and quick actions. Monitor key metrics and organize views for executives, cost analysis, and performance tracking.
The **Custom Dashboards** page allows users to create and manage analytics dashboards that are customized to their specific reporting or monitoring needs. It provides an organized overview of all dashboards in the account, their key details, and quick actions to view or create new dashboards.
### **Key Functional Sections**
#### **Summary Cards**
Four summary cards provide an at-a-glance view of overall dashboard statistics:
* **Total Dashboards** – Displays the total number of dashboards currently created.
* **Total Widgets** – Shows the cumulative count of all widgets across dashboards.
* **Default Dashboard** – Indicates which dashboard is currently set as the default.
* **Last Updated** – Shows the most recent modification date among all dashboards.
In the provided view, there are three dashboards with a total of nineteen widgets. The **Executive Summary** dashboard is set as the default and was last updated on **1/20/2025**.
