# Global Dashboard

The **Global Dashboard** allows you to create a centralized display of widgets, where each widget can be bound to a specific device to show relevant data. For example, if you want to display moisture from multiple devices, you can use separate chart widgets and bind them to each respective device.

In the **left menu**, click on the **Global Dashboards**.

The **Dashboard** page will be displayed.

In the **Name** text box, enter a **name** for the dashboard to identify it within your organization.

{% hint style="info" %}
When entering a name for the dashboard, note that spaces are not allowed. Instead, you can concatenate text using either a 'dash' or an 'underscore' character.
{% endhint %}

In the **Description** text box, enter a **description** for your dashboard that explains its intended purpose to users.

Click on the **+Dashboard** icon button and select an icon.

Click on the **+Add Widget** button and select a widget type from the **Select Widget** modal.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
You can skip this step and add widgets later.
