Required Editions

Available in: all editions

Visualforce pages as dashboard components are only available in Salesforce Classic. In Lightning Experience, you can create a custom tab and use that as a dashboard for your custom lightning components.

To be included in a dashboard, a Visualforce page must use a custom controller, use a standard or custom list controller, or not have a controller. You can’t add a Visualforce page with a standard controller to a dashboard. Only Visualforce pages that meet these requirements appear as options in the Data Sources tab.

Visualforce dashboard components aren’t supported when third-party cookies are disabled. See Visualforce Limitations in Salesforce Classic When Third-Party Cookies are Blocked.
