Users can add multiple widgets, apply filters, customize visualizations, and organize reports based on business needs.

When to use it:
Use the DIY Dashboard when you want to centralize survey insights, monitor performance in real time, or create shareable reporting views for teams and stakeholders.

IdeaCombine trend widgets with score widgets to create a more balanced dashboard view showing both performance and movement over time.
