Creating and Managing Dashboards
Overview
The Dashboard feature provides a centralized view of key event metrics, participant data, and operational insights. Users can create custom dashboards tailored to their specific needs, duplicate existing ones for reuse, and share views with other team members. Each dashboard supports a variety of widgets that display data such as participant groupings, revenue, event wait lists, email campaign delivery, and more.
Dashboards are fully customizable — users can switch between multiple dashboards, edit their layout, and configure each widget with a meaningful name, graph type, and the specific event it should reflect.
