Dynamics NAV 2016 dashboards are scorecards, graphs, and charts that utilize key performance indicators (KPIs) to demonstrate your organization’s trends, successes, and challenges – either collectively, departmentally, or focused on a project.

There are two types of dashboards in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016, user dashboards and system dashboards. Dashboard is very much customizable as per the user roles which can be visible only to them in their work area such as Sales, Service, or Marketing.

A user can also choose and set their user dashboard as their default dashboard and override the system dashboard.
