Navigate the Dashboards Tab

The Dashboards tab provides single-pane access to all your dashboards, both public and private. By default, when the Dashboards tab is displayed, it opens in the Favorites view and shows only those dashboards you have marked as favorites. If you have not yet marked any dashboards as favorites, the Dashboards tab opens in the All view and shows all of the existing dashboards.

The tab includes five main sections, as shown in the following image and described in the numbered points below.
