Overview

CleverTap provides a set of default dashboards, such as the Today View, which you can use to analyze user activity in your application. Custom Dashboards is a feature in CleverTap that allows you to create and customize your board.

Each custom dashboard you create is composed of cards, which are widgets you can pin to the board to track the metrics of your interest. You can pin cards that track events, funnels, segments, trends, and cohorts.

For example, if you want to create a custom dashboard to analyze Charged events over the past 30 days, you can add a line graph card to view the number of Charged events and a bar graph to view the distribution between App Launched and Charged.

After you build your custom dashboard, you can pin an item to a custom board and can also share the board with other people in your organization.
Custom dashboards can have the following features: Boards, Cards, and Workflows.
