Dashboards
Dashboards are a convenient way to view the current status of your tasks and monitor the progress of your team.
Dashboards are the default start page in YouTrack. Click Dashboards in the main navigation menu to access your dashboards. Each user has a personal dashboard that is assigned the name My Dashboard. You can edit, rename, and share your personal dashboard or keep it to yourself. There is also a default dashboard that you can use to display information to guest users. For more information, see Guest Dashboard.

A dashboard displays widgets. The different widgets provide you with a quick view of data and insights for information in your YouTrack environment.

Shared Dashboards
In addition to the dashboards you create yourself, you can view dashboards that have been shared with you.
When another user shares a dashboard with you directly or with a group of which you're a member, the shared dashboard is added to your non-favorite dashboard section.
You can still view the shared dashboard even if you haven't added it to your favorites section.
The current sharing options are displayed as a link in the dashboard header.
If the dashboard is shared with a single user or group, the name of the user or group is displayed in the link.
If the dashboard is shared with multiple users or groups, the link displays the number of users and groups who can access the dashboard. Click the link to display the complete list of users and groups who can access the dashboard.
If another user shared the dashboard with you, the name of the dashboard owner is also shown in the link.
