These custom dashboards provide flexibility in reporting and can include any data available on the platform, including custom fields for TPAs.

Managing Custom Dashboards
Multiple Dashboards
You can create multiple custom dashboards to suit different needs or departments (e.g., one for sales, one for operations).
Dashboard Access
All team members with read access can view shared dashboards. Users with write access can edit and create new dashboards.
Switching Dashboards
You can easily switch between dashboards by selecting the dashboard name next to the page title at the top of the screen.
Managing Dashboard Access
Dashboard access is managed through the Settings > Users & Groups section. Here, administrators can configure which users have read and write access to dashboards. This ensures that only authorized users can create, edit, or delete dashboards, while others can view the data.
How to Configure Dashboard Access:
Go to Settings > Users & Groups.
Scroll down to the user or group you want to configure.
Adjust Dashboard Permissions:
Read Access: The user can view all dashboards.
