Useful Google Analytic Dashboards

Dashboards give you an overview on how your properties are performing by displaying summaries of different reports as widgets on a single page. With a dashboard, you can monitor many metrics at once, so you can quickly check the health of your accounts or see correlations between different reports.

To view and manage your dashboards, use the Dashboards menu on the left, found under the Home tab. (Copyright google.com)
