In this module, you have learned about dashboards: what they are, why you need them, and what tiles and pinning are in relation to dashboards. You have also learned how to accomplish several tasks around dashboards, such as:
- Setting mobile view.
- Adding a theme to the visuals in your dashboard.
- Configuring data classification.
- Pinning a live report page to a dashboard.
With this new knowledge, consider how you can transform the data that you have to create a story. Dashboards can help you visualize that story.
