# Dashboards

Data Catalog two dashboards are provided, the Overview dashboard, which shows summary details by default and the Glossary Terms dashboard, which shows comprehensive glossary terms information.

Across the top of each dashboard, cards show key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics with trend measures for the previous 24-hour period. You can use several different visualizations to glean insights about scope, temperature, type, and age of the data. When you mouse over a visualization, a window highlights that portion of the chart for detailed exploration.

You can also control the granularity and focus of the charted data using the date range selector, or apply filters to show only specific data sources or glossary terms to narrow and target the results, and by clicking elements, such as a temperature category, within the chart to toggle an associated portion of the shown results.

## Overview dashboard

The Overview dashboard includes KPIs and trend metrics about files. You can select a data type to examine file activities. Depending on the required date range, you can apply filters to examine specific periods. On the left navigation menu, click **Dashboards** to open the Overview dashboard.
