# Audience dashboards

> Every saved audience includes a default dashboard for tracking audience size, activity, and sync health over time. You can add metrics from Intelligence to the default dashboard or replace it with a custom Intelligence dashboard.

You'll find an audience's dashboard on its **Overview** tab. It tracks how the audience changes after you save and sync it. While you're building an audience, you can [preview its members](https://docs.hightouch.com/customer-studio/usage.md#preview-and-validate-the-audience) and open [Insights](https://docs.hightouch.com/customer-studio/insights.md) to check its size and composition first.

## Before you begin

* A saved audience. (Optional) At least one dashboard

## What the default dashboard shows

The default dashboard includes these charts:

* **Audience size** — The current number of audience members.
* **Audience size over time** — How membership changes over time.
* **User activity** — Events from members of the audience.
* **Sync size over time** — Completed syncs over the past seven days.

Change the time range to view the last 7, 30, 60, or 90 days, or a custom range. Refresh the page to load the latest chart data.

## Add metrics to the default dashboard

You can add saved [metrics](https://docs.hightouch.com/campaign-intelligence/metrics.md) from Intelligence to the default dashboard as KPIs, such as total revenue or order count.

Metrics are created in **Intelligence > Metrics** and built on a parent model.

To add a metric to an audience:

1. Open the audience's **Settings** tab.
2. Under **Primary metrics**, select one or more saved metrics.

![Select a primary metric in audience settings](https://mintcdn.com/hightouch-3c037897/L_vQfA0JQEpeGUUo/images/hightouch-audiences/audience-overviews/primary-metrics.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=L_vQfA0JQEpeGUUo\&q=85\&s=9b4241346aaa352f5e38ed1e7320e4b7)

Primary metrics appear at the bottom of the default dashboard.

Primary metrics appear only on the default dashboard. A custom dashboard replaces the default view, so primary metrics don't appear on it.

## Use a custom dashboard

You can replace the default dashboard with a custom [dashboard](https://docs.hightouch.com/campaign-intelligence/dashboards.md) created in Intelligence. Custom dashboards are created in **Intelligence > Dashboards** and can contain Insights and funnel charts.

To use a custom dashboard for an audience:

1. Open the audience's **Settings** tab.
2. Under **Overview dashboard**, select an existing dashboard.
3. To create a dashboard, select **Create a new dashboard** and configure it in Intelligence.

![Audience settings](https://mintcdn.com/hightouch-3c037897/L_vQfA0JQEpeGUUo/images/hightouch-audiences/audience-overviews/audience-settings.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=L_vQfA0JQEpeGUUo\&q=85\&s=030aa4c114d34432055c6078226285b0)

On an audience, the dashboard shows only that audience's members, so you can reuse the same dashboard across audiences that share a parent model. Global dashboard filters don't appear on an audience, and the original dashboard keeps its configured filters.

## Dashboard behavior

* **Sampling** — If the audience uses [sampling](https://docs.hightouch.com/customer-studio/sampling.md), dashboard results reflect those settings.
* **Caching** — Audience dashboards use the same caching behavior as Intelligence dashboards.
* **Permissions** — Anyone who can view an audience's members can view its dashboard. Only editors can change the dashboard configured for the audience.
