Folders

The dashboards are organized initially in alphabetical order. You can create folders by clicking the Folders drop-down in the top-left corner and then choosing either the New sub folder or New top level folder option. Then simply drag and drop the sub folders into the desired top level folders.

You can remove a folder by clicking on it, and selecting the Remove folder option from the same menu.

An example of a global filter is producing a performance dashboard by customer location. The widgets on the dashboard are all the performance statistics but the data is filtered by the customer location.
