Under the Reporting On dropdown menu, you can select to pull all project-based items, task-based items, or particular custom items. Please note that only custom items that belong to the selected source location(s) will be visible in this menu.

Breakdowns add valuable layers to data analysis in New Dashboards, allowing users to examine their data from multiple dimensions:

Primary Breakdown: Use the 'Break By' feature to define the main category for your data analysis, such as Assignee or Project.
