What is personalization in dashboards?

< 1 min read

Personalization in dashboards means allowing users to customize views based on their preferences without changing the core report.
In my project, we enabled users to select filters like region, product category, and time period based on their analysis needs.
Some stakeholders customized visuals by adding or removing fields using personal bookmarks.
We also allowed users to save their default filter view for quick access later.
This improved user adoption because each team could focus on their specific KPIs.
It reduced dependency on the BI team for small view-level changes.
At the same time, the underlying data model and calculations remained controlled.
Overall, personalization improves usability while maintaining governance.
