# Analytics

The *Analytics widget* allows existing analyses to be displayed directly in the dashboard or in Smartview. It shows the complete configuration of a selected analysis with all included charts and data points.

If the dashboard is used by multiple people, make sure to select a *project analysis* so that all users can see the analysis. [→ More about global analytics and reports](/collection/english-v14/documentation/analytics-and-reports/global-analytics-and-reports.md)
