OK, I found the "Dashboard Builder" page -- it's very helpful.
From an interface point of view, accessing the builder page is like finding an Easter egg, not an easily accessible function of the software. It's confusing that two of the layout choices (auto fill & manual) are in one location and are visually distinguished from the rest of the page, while the 3rd tile selection choice appears as if it is the name of the window, not a link to an active page.
Please change my feature request to:
On the "Getting Started" page for a new dashboard, add a link to the Dashboard Builder adjacent to the "Auto Fill Grid" and "Manually Add Tiles" buttons.
