About dashboard options
Each dashboard has a tab with a name describing the contents of the dashboard. Users can organize and manage their dashboards with these options, for example change the name of a dashboard or copy a dashboard.
Dashboard options are in the dashboard’s menu, as shown in Figure 4‑5.
