Note You must customize some tabs when you replicate this template. See [Add and Customize Tabs on Lightning Pages Using the Lightning App Builder](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleview?id=platform.lightning_app_builder_customize_lex_pages_add_tabs.htm&type=5).

- Drag the **Education Analytics Dashboard** component to the top section (1).
    - In the component properties to the right, for Dashboard, select **Recruitment and Admissions Insights**. If you can't select a dashboard, make sure that Education Analytics is set up. See [Set Up the Education Analytics App](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.ec_set_up_the_education_analytics_app.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Configure Education Analytics in Education Cloud to monitor institutional health and get insights from dashboards and key performance indicators.").
- Drag the **Tabs** component to the section just below Education Analytics Dashboard. Change the tab names to Ready for Decision and My Reviews (2).

    - For the Object field, select **Individual Application**.
    - For the Filter field, select **Ready for Decision**.
