Paradise by the Dashboard Light

I recently had the opportunity to write an article for the Mason Frank blog. Here’s a quick summary below and link to read the full article!

For some it’s Meat Loaf, the 70s rock icon, drenched in sweat, belting out heartfelt lyrics about teenage love, commitment, and the ravishing effects of time on both. However, most will think of the instrument panel on a vehicle. The centralized hub for virtually all information about the current state of your vehicle—speed, RPM, fuel level, mileage, length of your current trip, any warning or maintenance messages… they’re all there.

It is the go-to place for information when operating your vehicle. Salesforce dashboards are just that—the go-to place for information about your organization.

Note: For the purposes of this article I’m referring to dashboards in the Salesforce Lightning Experience.

I’m also assuming you have the necessary licensing (Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited or Developer edition) and necessary permissions to build reports and dashboards.
