Use custom Lightning Web Components (LWCs) in Lightning dashboards to add meaningful
visual context and support new use cases. Custom LWCs provide interactive, real-time data views
that go beyond standard dashboard capabilities. For example, you can add an LWC to display a
waterfall chart, which isn’t available in standard dashboard components.
