Customize your Dashboard View
Create a Dashboard
Dashboards in SalesTrack provide an overview of business data ‒ actionable information that is viewable across the organization. You can create and design dashboards to show the information that you want exactly how you want to see it in the Sales view. While designing the dashboard, you can rearrange or remove the components that you have already added and change the height and width of a component.
By default, you can add only six components to any dashboard layout.
