Dashboards Overview ​

Each Directus Dashboard provides a drag-and-drop canvas where you can create and arrange different Panels to easily build out customized analytics. The Dashboard area automatically expands as you add more and more Panels. In theory, a Dashboard area can expand infinitely large... but in practice, users will probably only want to build Dashboards as large as the screen they will be viewing on. You are able to create as many Dashboards as you need. Additionally, the Dashboard view, edit, and create permissions are fully configurable by User Role.

Create, Edit, and Delete Dashboards ​

1. Click the add icon in the page header to create a new Dashboard.
2. Click the item option to edit or delete a Dashboard.
