Dashboard

A dashboard is a single screen that arranges several saved charts and metrics side by side so a recurring question can be answered at a glance.

Each tile on a dashboard is an independent calculation with its own metric definition, while the date range and any global filters are usually applied across every tile at once. Naming differs by tool: the same object is called a Board in Mixpanel and a Dashboard in Amplitude, and in Google Analytics 4 the fixed pages are Reports while the free-form workspace is Explorations. A dashboard states what changed, not why it changed, and treating it as the answer rather than the starting point is the usual mistake. The second failure mode is definition drift: tiles keep rendering after the underlying metric definition or tracking code has changed, and nobody notices because the chart still looks normal.
