Overview

Create a Dashboard, and then add widgets to it, to help you manage and monitor your tasks. Each widget shows tasks which meet specified criteria, you can use Wrike’s pre-built widgets or build Custom Widgets to see tasks which match the filters you apply.

Important Information

• Users on Professional accounts can have up to 10 Dashboards, users on Business accounts can have up to 15, and users on Enterprise accounts can have up to 100 Dashboards.
• If you share a Dashboard with someone, they must have access to the Folder the widgets are based on. If they don't have access to those Folders, then they won't see tasks on the widget (even if the individual tasks are shared with them).
• The person who creates a Dashboard is the only user who can share it.
