Google Analytics is a very robust program that offers many different statistics and information about your website. One way to sift through all of that data is to set up dashboards. Google Analytics Dashboards can give you a quick glance at the specific stats that you want to see. You can even set up multiple dashboards for different reports or the needs of different roles. Here are step by step instructions on how to set up a Google Analytics Dashboard.
