- **[Customize Dashboard Widgets by Using Parameters](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.tua_create_dashboard_parameters_list.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Use parameters to transform static widgets into versatile tools that adapt to various project requirements. By using parameters to drive widget behavior, you can repurpose a single visualization for different projects, regions, or time frames without rebuilding the underlying logic.
