Embed a Dashboard | Trailhead Screen Reader Instructions
Next, Maria creates a custom home page that includes the embedded dashboard.
- From Setup, enter App Builder in the Setup search box, then select Lightning App Builder.
- Click the New button.
- Select the option for Home Page and then click Next.
- In the Label field, name the page Home Page with Opps Dashboard and then click Next.
- Select the Standard Home Page template and then click Done.
Find Dashboard on the left and drag it to the template where you would like to add the dashboard. The template has several sections, and you can drag a different component to each one.
- Below the Page heading, click any of the Add component(s) here links to choose a section.
- From the list of components below the Standard heading, press ENTER on Dashboard to select it.
- Below the Properties heading, ensure that Opps Pipeline (Opps Dashboards) is selected in the Dashboards dropdown. This section also has settings for displaying and filtering the dashboard.
- Click the Save button.
- If this is your first time saving the page, you’re asked whether you want to activate now. Click Activate to continue. If you’ve previously saved the page, click the Activation... button.
- Now choose the level at which to activate the page. The settings at lower levels override the higher-level settings. Because your selections can affect other users, we recommend activating just for the purpose you have in mind. In this case, click the APP AND PROFILE tab and then click the Assign to Apps and Profiles button.
- Select the Sales checkbox as the app to apply the activation to and then click Next.
- Select Standard User and System Administrator as the profiles to apply the page to and then click Next. The profile determines the set of users who see the custom page.
- Review the assignments and then click Save.
- Click the Save button again in the app builder.
To verify that the Home page has been changed…
- Click the Back link at the top of the page to leave the App Builder setup.
- From the App Launcher, find and select Sales.
- Click the Home tab to confirm that the dashboard is now embedded.
