Overview

A dashboard is a collection of charts and tables that provides a summary of the most crucial data and reports. Dashboards allow you to easily check on the status of your marketing and product initiatives.

Custom Reports & KPIs which are important for product managers and marketers can be added to the desired dashboard. Multiple reports can be added to the same dashboard. Reports and charts in the dashboard are added from the Behavior, Funnels, Retention, and Session & Source section of Analytics.

Dashboard Types

MoEngage provides 2 types of Dashboards:

• Predefined Dashboards
• Custom Dashboards.

Predefined Dashboards

These dashboards are defined by MoEngage and are present by default with all the accounts. The charts and reports in these dashboards have common filters of Platform and Date Range, modification in these filters reflects the change across the reports. 

Default dashboard provided by MoEngage - 

• Key Metrics
• Campaign Stats
• Best time analysis

Custom Dashboards

As the name suggests, these dashboards are custom-made by marketers and product managers. New custom dashboards can be created and multiple reports can be added to desired dashboards. These reports can have different time ranges, different granularities, different chart types, and tables.
These dashboards do not contain filters of 'Platform' and 'Date Range' as every report is customized by the user.

Creating Custom Dashboards

A custom dashboard can be added in 2 different ways: 

1. From the Navigation Side Bar - Click on the + Create New and then click Dashboard. Enter the desired name and hit Create.
