# Impact Dashboards

View and analyze your organization's data through interactive Impact Dashboards in PEARS.

Impact Dashboards provide a visual overview of your organization's programming data in PEARS. Each dashboard combines multiple panels into a single view, allowing you to explore trends, compare metrics, and share insights with stakeholders.

## Getting Started

To access Impact Dashboards, hover over the **Analyze** menu in the top navigation bar and click **Impact Dashboards**. The **All Dashboards** tab lists the dashboards available to you based on your organization's configuration and permissions. Your program-wide summary dashboard, **Highlights** or **SNAP-Ed**, leads the page in a featured panel, and every other dashboard appears as a card below it. Click the featured panel or a card to open that dashboard.

To find a dashboard quickly, type in the **Search dashboards** box beside the tabs. The list narrows to dashboards whose name or description contains every word you type. Dashboards you have shared are on the **Share Links** tab — see [Share Impact Dashboards](/analyze/impact-dashboards/share-dashboards.md).

**TIP:** Use the filter sidebar on any dashboard to narrow results by reporting year, unit, user, program area, and more. You can also share a filtered dashboard view using the **Share** button — see [Share Impact Dashboards](/analyze/impact-dashboards/share-dashboards.md).

## Panels

Each dashboard is composed of individual panels that visualize a specific metric or dataset. A single panel may appear on multiple dashboards. A panel that charts a single module, such as Direct Contacts, Program Activities, Indirect Activities, or Success Stories, appears only when your organization has that module turned on. For detailed documentation on each panel's data sources, calculations, and filter behavior, see the [Panels](/analyze/impact-dashboards/panels.md) reference.
