How to create a dashboard in Salesforce

Click "New Dashboard"

Give your Dashboard a name, select a folder to save it to, and click "Create"

Click "Add Component Component"

Each component comes from a report so you'll want to make sure your reports are set up prior to creating your dashboard. You can use the same report across multiple components to show it in different ways.

Pick a report to use and click "Select".

The Display As options give you several options on how to display your data. If any are grayed out it means the report is not structured in a way to display the data that way.
