A dashboard people have to remember to open is a dashboard nobody opens. Embedding it on a space home page puts the numbers in front of the team on the way to their work.
It renders live — the same current numbers as the dashboard itself, not a snapshot.
The three or four things this team should know today:
Resist adding everything. A space home is a glance, not a report — anything needing study belongs on the dashboard itself.
Space home = a short intro, then the numbers, then links to the sheets people use daily. New joiners get oriented, and everyone else gets a status check without asking anyone.
An embedded dashboard only appears for people who can open its sheet; everyone else sees the tile's setup steps. See Who can see a dashboard?.
