# Select a Dashboard

In Aligned Elements, **Dashboards** are used to provide at-a-glance views of project information, statistics, and due items to process by the user. The **Dashboards** can be customized to accommodate the needs of different Aligned Elements e.g.

* A Project Manager's Dashboard can display the current state of key performance indicators
* A Test Managers Dashboard can display current state and expected progress on active Test Runs
* A customized user Dashboard can display the users open tasks and assigned items
* A Welcome Dashboard can display general information about the project itself

The Dashboard is displayed in the "welcome-screen" when the user opens a project. A project can contain several Dashboards. The user can select which Dashboard to be displayed. If no Dashboards have been added to the project, a default Dashboard is displayed.

## How to select a Dashboard

Click on the **Edit** button below the Dashboard to display the Display Dashboard dialog. Select a Dashboard from the dropdown. Click **OK** to confirm.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note! It is possible to display \<none> which will display no Dashboard.
{% endhint %}

## How to update the data in a Dashboard

Each **Widget** contains a **Refresh** icon in the upper right corner. Click on the **Refresh** icon to update the date in the Widget.
