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, cohorts, and pivots.

For example, if you want to track the following metrics for the last 30 days:

• Number of users who performed Charged event
• Number of users who performed App Launched and Charged events

You can create a custom dashboard and add cards to track the above metrics, as shown in the following figure. You can also pin those cards to the dashboard.

After you build your custom dashboard, you can also share the board with others in your organization.
Custom dashboards can have the following features: Boards and Cards.
