Delete system defined dashboards and components
CRM provides a set of system-defined dashboards and components that are most commonly used in businesses such as deals in the pipeline, sales by account, campaign vs. revenue etc.
These dashboards are available for Leads, accounts and contacts, cases and solutions, products, inventory, campaigns, and territory. All these system-defined dashboards like Lead analytics, Org Overview, Activity Stats etc. are public dashboards that are available for every CRM user.
By default, these dashboards are accessible to all users in the org and the permission cannot be modified. Sometimes if you do not require these dashboards, you can delete them from the org account. You can also delete components that are not used in your business. A user who has manage dashboard permission in their profile can delete these dashboards and the components in it.
