  Your new dashboard will instantly be added to the end of your active list of open dashboards in the left navigation sidebar as well as to your Dashboard Library.

Your open dashboard list

Your open dashboards display as a list under Dashboards in the left navigation sidebar, giving you fast access to the dashboards you use the most.
