The Dashboard web part enables the integration of cards into your SharePoint sites and pages. Cards offer a consistent and enriched user experience, enhancing engagement. Previously, the Dashboard web part was exclusive to Home Sites in SharePoint. It is now extended to be available in Teams and Communication Sites.

This functionality enables teams within an organization to create their own dashboards with the richness of cards. There are out-of-the-box cards available to kick start the dashboard which can further be enhanced with any custom cards based on the need. Dashboard web part supports all custom card types created either using Card Designer or SharePoint Framework.

The authors can select the Manage Dashboard option leads to the create flow for the Dashboard which follows the Dashboard page where the author can add cards as show below.

Authors can choose pre-built cards and configure them for their teams or add custom cards available at the tenant level. They can also use Card Designer or custom cards which have been deployed to be available through the SharePoint app catalog. This dashboard can be added to any site page on particular site for user access.

With the dashboard web part, you can build combine web parts and cards to enhance the end user experiences in the sites. Here’s few example designs on using this web part in SharePoint sites.

The features and capabilities mentioned in this blog post are demonstrated in the following video with Pooja Gulati (Microsoft), Sri Sai Mohan Suri (Microsoft) and Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft).
