Or even create a default dashboard. I think Google has a long way to go in terms of sharing some of the personal settings in GA, like dashboards, segments, etc. Thanks for the question!

I own many sites with the same business model and it would be great to be able to check all the sites on the same kind of dashboard layout (without doing the work manually, of course).

If you have a large number of people that need to access a single dashboard you may want to create a single login for your users. Otherwise you'll need to recreate the dashboard for each user. Thanks for the question, Justin Hi Ben,

Large marekting department and generally the user base is a little adverse to Google Analytics but requires the top level dashboard views I've setup - sadly I'll then need to replicate these across several accounts (and several profiles for each account)... All suggestions welcome!! Any thoughts on how to setup a set of customised dashboards and have these propogate across all users for the profile?

GA will always send the dashboard AND the "real" version of the reports listed on the dashboard. Thanks for the question, Justin Hi Eric,

Unfortunately there is no way modify the report. GA will always send the dashboard AND the “real” version of the reports listed on the dashboard.

Thanks for the question,

When I do this, GA emails the dashboard ...as well as the "expanded" report for each item on the dashboard (six pages!). Sales only needs the dashboard. Is there a way to turn off the additional "expanded" reports? I want to email monthly reports of my website’s dashboard to my sales staff.

It may just be some confusion re: the capabilities of GA. You can only drag and drop the report widgets on your dashboard. You can not drag other reports or navigation items. As for the report you want to create, that's not possible. You can not specify which columns appear in a Google Analytics report. What' you'll need to do is find the report that provides as much of the information as possible and then tweak it in Excel. From the looks of it, I think you want to use the AdWords Analysis report.

I'm using the newest version of GA and firefox and cant seem to be able to do this at all. As well as this it says i can create my own report. I'd like a report to include: Campaign Name | Campaign Cost | Date range | Traffic | Revenue generated | ROI % But i cant seem to think how this can be done. Any ideas will be appreciated. Regards Zahir Hi,
