Using a Dashboard is very much like using any report in Analytics. You can examine the graph elements in a widget by hovering over the element. The image below illustrates some other things you can do with Dashboards:
- Change the name of a Dashboard by clicking the Dashboard’s title.
- Adjust the date range or compare 2 date ranges using the date picker.
- Add widgets, share, customize or remove the Dashboard using the action bar.
- Add or remove segments.
- Rearrange widgets on the page by dragging them by the title bar to new locations. Edit or delete widgets using the controls that appear when you mouse over the widget’s title bar.
- Open a linked report by clicking on the widget’s title. (This only works for linked report widgets, not widgets you create within the Dashboard itself.)
- Refresh the Dashboard’s data by clicking the Refresh Dashboard link, located in the bottom right corner of the page (not shown in the screen shot).
