Customize analytical dashboards (preview)
Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability
Important
Some or all of this functionality is available as part of a preview release. The content and the functionality are subject to change.
Your organization has unique requirements for content and layout when it comes to sustainability analytics. With Microsoft Sustainability Manager, you can create customized versions of the built-in insights pages across emissions, water, and waste.
With Sustainability Manager's analytical reporting extensibility, you can create a customized dashboard. Using the standard built-in insights pages as a baseline provides both a cost and time savings when building a customized dashboard. Your customized dashboard highlights the content most important to your organization, providing faster analysis and decision-making.
Prerequisites
- To create custom dashboards, you need administrator privileges.
- If you're not familiar with customizing Power BI dashboards, review the Power BI documentation for instructions and ideas:

After you tailor the analytical pages to your organizational requirements, select Save. A message appears:
Save custom dashboard? This could take a few minutes. Please do not refresh the page in the meanwhile.
Select Save to confirm.
The customized version of your insights page is now available by default for all users that have reporting privileges.
Switch between default and customized dashboards
After you customize a dashboard, a toggle appears on the page so that users can switch between the customized and default dashboards.

- To view the newly created dashboard, turn on the Custom dashboard (preview) toggle.
Delete a customized dashboard
As an administrator, you can delete a customized dashboard by selecting Delete. A confirmation window displays:
