# Create a dashboard

In the Platform Analytics experience, you can create shareable dashboards with data visualizations, filters, and other elements. You can use the available elements in the inline editor to create different types of widgets as needed.

## Before you begin

## About this task

Dashboards consolidate data from multiple sources into a single, easily digestible format. Each widget within a dashboard displays key data and metrics and may include visualizations.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Portfolio Planning Workspace** > **Dashboards**.

    By default, the Execution Dashboard appears on the Dashboards page.

2.  From the dashboard header, select the More actions icon \(\[Omitted image "more-actions.png"\] Alt text: More actions icon in the portfolio plan header.\) and then select **Create new**.

3.  On the New dashboard window, fill the details.

    1.  Enter a name for the dashboard in the **Name** field.

    2.  Enter a brief description for the dashboard in the **Description** field.

    3.  Select **Create new dashboard**.
