## What is a Dashboard?

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

Dashboards are graphical interfaces where you can view values, make settings, and recognize correlations.

Dashboards consist of so-called [-> widgets](/collection/platform/live-cockpit/widgets.md). You can individually "assemble" a dashboard from different widgets.

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

#### Multiple Dashboards

You can create any number of dashboards and switch between them.

You are not bound to a single dashboard.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Example** You create a dashboard that displays the current status of all blinds in your building.

In another dashboard, you display room temperatures and the status of existing air conditioning systems.

In a third dashboard, you monitor the energy flows in the infrastructure.
{% endhint %}

You can [-> copy dashboards](/collection/platform/live-cockpit/copy-dashboards-to-users.md) to other users. This means you don't have to create dashboards you've already made for every user from scratch.
