# Dashboard

## What is a dashboard?

The dashboard is the first thing you see when you log in to eliona. 

Dashboards are graphical interfaces on which you can view values, make settings, and recognize connections.

Dashboards consist of so-called [-> Widgets](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/documentation/widgets). You can individually "assemble" a dashboard from various widgets.

You can return to the dashboard at any time by clicking the **menu item** **Dashboard \[A]** in the sidebar.&#x20;

### Multiple dashboards

You can create as many dashboards as you like and switch between them.&#x20;

You are not tied to a single dashboard.&#x20;

**Example** \
You create a dashboard on which the current states of all blinds in your building are displayed.&#x20;

In another dashboard, you display room temperatures and the status of any air conditioning systems present.&#x20;

In yet another dashboard, you monitor the energy flows in the infrastructure.
{% endhint %}

You can [-> copy dashboards to other users](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/documentation/dashboard/copy-dashboards-to-users). This means you do not have to create dashboards that you have already made separately for each user. &#x20;
