Customize the sites dashboard
Each site you build benefits from a dashboard. This dashboard consists of widgets that relate to the site, such as analytics about engagement generated by the site, or tools for site management and for monitoring the progress of ongoing strategies. This dashboard is customizable, so you can display only the widgets you are interested in, including custom widgets available in the Sitecore Marketplace.
Only admins can customize the shared sites dashboard for a site, but all users can create a personal dashboard. You can customize the dashboard in the right-hand pane, which displays a list of all the available widgets to add to the dashboard.
To navigate between the shared and the personal dashboard, click 
on the right of the dashboard name.
