# Creating Dashboards

If you want to track a specific event/aspect, goal, or milestone of your organization, creating a dashboard will be the ideal thing to do. For instance, you can create a new dashboard for your marketing team to track performance or to create simplified visualizations for business executives. This section works you through the process of creating and modifying dashboards.

You can also [duplicate ](/features/dashboards/creating-dashboards/duplicate-dashboard.md)an existing dashboard to create a copy for other purposes.
