For example, add the Sales Pipeline dashboard to the Home tab to give your sales team the information they need when they log in to Salesforce.

Embedded dashboards are fully interactive. Refresh them, apply filters, and click chart segments to drill into filtered reports.

Dashboards need space to display charts and tables. If an embedded dashboard is squished into too small a space, then a collapsed version displays instead of the full dashboard. The collapsed version links back to the full dashboard.

1. From Setup, enter App Builder in the Quick Find box, and then select **Lightning App Builder**.
2. Click **New**.
3. Choose where to embed the dashboard. (Record pages don’t support embedded dashboards.)
    
    - To embed a dashboard on an app page, select **App Page**.
    - To embed a dashboard on the Home tab, select **Home Page**.
    
    Click **Next**.
4. Give your app page or home tab layout a label. Then, click **Next**.
5. Choose a layout. Then, click **Done**.
6. Drag and drop the **Dashboard** component into place.
7. From the Dashboard dropdown list, choose a dashboard to embed.
8. Optionally, specify a maximum height and choose to show or hide the dashboard if an error prevents it from loading.
9. Click **Save**.
10. Click **Activate**.
