Use this interactive demo to learn how to pin a report as a chart or table on your Salesforce dashboard.

Quick summary

Adding a report to a Salesforce dashboard lets teams visualize CRM data as charts or tables for real-time decision-making. This walkthrough covers every step from searching for a dashboard to adding a report widget in edit mode.


Steps

  1. In the search bar at the top of Salesforce, type 'Dashboard' to find the Dashboards section.
  2. Select a dashboard from the results to open it.
  3. Once the dashboard is open, click 'Edit' in the top-right controls to enter edit mode.
  4. Click 'Widget' to add charts, tables, or report visuals, then choose 'Chart or Table'.
  5. Choose the report you want to use as the data source for the widget.
  6. Click 'Select' to confirm your report selection and proceed.
  7. Pick a chart type (such as bar or pie), then click 'Add' to include the report in the dashboard.

📌 Why this matters

Adding reports to a Salesforce dashboard transforms raw CRM data into live, visual insights that sales and operations teams can act on instantly. Rather than running reports manually, pinning them as charts or tables to a dashboard gives every stakeholder a single source of truth for pipeline health, performance metrics, and forecasting. This feature is central to Salesforce's analytics offering, enabling faster decisions without requiring technical expertise. Teams that master dashboard customization get more value from their Salesforce investment by surfacing the right data to the right people at the right time.
