Custom Dashboards in Mentionlytics allow you to create fully personalized reporting environments based on the metrics, widgets, and insights that matter most to you or your clients.
Instead of using the default dashboard layouts, you can build your own dashboard from scratch, rearrange sections, and display only the data you want to focus on.
This feature is especially useful for agencies, marketing teams, analysts, and businesses that need tailored reporting views for different projects, brands, or stakeholders.
