Disclaimer: We are still using Classic for most of our Users. We have an issue where we can't find a way to display an entire dashboard on the Home page OR have the dashboard preview link to the full dashboard. It only opens the underlying report for the component. We need a way to get Sales Users to their individual dashboards quickly and easily. I tried adding the URL of the dashboard in the description but that does not display on the Home page preview. I also don't see any way to pin or favorite a dashboard in Classic to ensure it is always the first dashboard opened if the User goes to the dashboard page. I thought I remembered having the ability to favorite or follow dashboards back in the day. Looking for any tips or tricks that have been used.
Hi Bridget, You can get at least a partial dashboard view on a Classic Home Page. Go to Setup and type in Home, the click on Home Page Layouts. You can edit an existing one or create a new layout. Let's say you update an existing Home Page. Click Edit on the home page layout, the check the Dashboard Snapshot checkbox, Next then choose which column in your DB you want the the snapshot to show up, then Save.
Then go to the home page and you should see a Dashboard section. From there click on Customize Page on the upper right of the Dashboard section/component and select an existing Dashboard, save.
If all goes well you should have something like this displayed on your Home Page:
