Dashboards consolidate data from multiple sources into a single, easily digestible format. Each widget within a dashboard displays key data and metrics and may include visualizations.

## Procedure

    By default, the Execution Dashboard appears on the Dashboards page.

2.  From the dashboard header, select the More actions icon \(\[Omitted image "more-actions.png"\] Alt text: More actions icon in the portfolio plan header.\) and then select **Create new**.

3.  On the New dashboard window, fill the details.

    1.  Enter a name for the dashboard in the **Name** field.

    2.  Enter a brief description for the dashboard in the **Description** field.

    3.  Select **Create new dashboard**.


## Result

The dashboard has been created.
