# Insights: Custom Dashboards

Custom dashboards are a powerful feature of Insights that let you build exactly the dashboard that you want to see. You can also [schedule reports to be sent based on a custom dashboard](/insights/scheduled-reports).

## Creating a custom dashboard

To create a new custom dashboard, go to the [Insights homepage](https://app.incident.io/~/insights), and click the "Create dashboard" button in the top right.

Give your custom dashboard a name, choose an icon and color, and then click Create.

You can add any panel from one of the core insights dashboards to your custom dashboard by selecting it from the drawer:

## Filtering the whole dashboard

You can add filters to the dashboard, and **they will affect all panels on the dashboard**. For example, you can filter so that you only see data for major incidents by using the "Add filter" button in the header bar:

## Filtering a panel

If you want to filter just a single panel in a custom dashboard, click the "Add filter" button in the header of the panel you want to filter:

The filters you add to a panel **will be applied in addition** to the filters that are added to the whole dashboard.
