Dashboards are collections of charts relating to Microsoft Data verse tables.
There are two types of dashboards :
User dashboards
System dashboards.
An app user can create a dashboard visible only to them in the app areas where they have privileges.
An admin or customizer creates or customizes system dashboards that, when published, are visible to all app users.
A user can choose to set their user dashboard as their default dashboard and override the system dashboard.
Dashboards can be standard or interactive
Standard dashboards support adding one or more unrelated components such as charts or lists.
Interactive dashboards provide the capability for users to act on a particular row directly from the dashboard.
