The dashboard entities in [!INCLUDEpn_dynamics_crm] enable you to present data from various charts, grids, IFRAMES, or web resources simultaneously. Dashboards allow you to compare and analyze various pieces of customer information, and give you data snapshots.
In [!INCLUDEpn_dynamics_crm], there are two types of dashboards: organization-owned dashboards and user-owned dashboards.
Organization-owned dashboard.
An organization-owned dashboard is represented by the SystemForm entity, and can’t be assigned or shared.
These dashboards are solution-aware entities in [!INCLUDEpn_crm_shortest].
When you perform an update operation on this entity, you must publish the changes for the updates to be available across the organization.
When you publish customizations using the xref:Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Messages.PublishAllXmlRequest message, the newly-created organization-owned dashboards are also published and become available across the organization.
Alternatively, you can publish the changes done to a specific dashboard by using the xref:Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Messages.PublishXmlRequest message, and specifying the dashboard ID as the parameter in the request message.
User-owned dashboard.
A user-owned dashboard is represented by the UserForm entity, can be assigned and shared with other users, and can be viewed by other users depending on the dashboard’s access privileges.
Note
You can’t programmatically create or manage the new interactive dashboards introduced in [!INCLUDEpn-crm-2016-shortest]. For information about working with interactive dashboards using the web client, see Configure interactive experience dashboards
