# Track Your Progress with Dashboards

Take a look at how your business is doing in a single glance with dashboards. You select the metrics that matter and Salesforce brings the data to life with graphs, charts and more.

## Why Do We Use Them?

Your business has a lot going on. With dashboards, you get to see it all at a glance so making data-driven decisions is simple and easy.

## Why Are They Important?

With dashboards, you get that big picture view of your business without having to dig through individual reports. With all of the parts of your business coming together in a single place, you can see how they affect one another as well as your bottom line.
