| 13 | +Dashboards are a collection of charts assembled to create a single |
| 14 | +unified display of your data. Each chart shows data from a |
| 15 | +single MongoDB collection or view, so dashboards are essential to |
| 16 | +attain insight into multiple focal points of your data in a single |
| 17 | +display. |
