Dashboard Central
A new Dashboard Repository design with simple yet sophisticated user experience
Dashboard Central is a centralized platform designed for users to access, manage, and interact with multiple analytical dashboards. It simplifies data visualization and management by allowing users to view, share, create, edit, and organize dashboards in one consolidated location. With features like grouping by product and marking favorites, it offers a streamlined and efficient way to navigate through various data sets and dashboards.
