The purpose of the dashboard is to provide quick access to information. You can populate a dashboard with the following items in Adobe Workfront:

After you create these items and you add them to a dashboard, you can edit the dashboard to add more items to it, remove existing items from it, or edit the dashboard information.

Any changes made to a dashboard will impact all users who have access to that dashboard.

When you share a dashboard with users, all the reports, calendars, and external pages are also shared with the same users.

    NOTE

    When searching for an item, the search returns any of the 2,000 most recently created reports. Report names that include unicode characters are not returned in search results.
