Add channels to dashboard

[Christy Dansko]

I completed unit 5 about dashboards and reports and am now trying to configure my dashboard to the items I track ever month.  Changes have been made to the report and where traffic sources (direct, search, etc.) are located.  Now it is called "channels."  I cannot figure out how to add the channel information to my dashboard.  From the acquisition/channels page I click  "add to dashboard" and it adds visits to the dashboard.  I cannot find channel or acquisition in the list to modify this widget.  I am certain this data is available for the widget but I cannot figure it out. Help!

Hi there,

The "Channels" dimension is not yet available in Custom Dashboards, so in the meantime the closest dimension you can use to resemble the Channels dimension would be the acquisition dimension of "Medium." 

Stay tuned for updates to Custom Dashboards in the future to allow for adding Channels data as well.

Cheers,
