Custom Dashboards

Each custom dashboard consists of one or more widgets containing user acquisition metrics. You configure the widget using the widget wizard to select metrics, presentation format, apps, and so on. 

The metrics available are similar to the Overview dashboard user acquisition view metrics. Note! Don't compare to Overview unified nor retargeting view. 

Once a custom dashboard is defined, it's available to all users in the account.
