Make a general dashboard for multiple properties in the same page

Question

I have 3 websites (or sometimes more) that I manage with Google Analytics, i.e. I have 3 "properties":

How can I generate a custom dashboard that displays pageviews graphs for each of the 3 sites on a single page?

Something like this:

When I tried to use the customisation feature, all I achieved to do is a custom dashboard but for a specific property:

How to do a custom dashboard that can display data from multiple properties / multiple websites? (to give the big picture of the traffic for multiple websites in a single shot)

Answer 1

As others have said, dashboards sit on the "view" level, along with custom reports. With that in mind, here are 2 ways I can imagine accomplishing the goal of "I want to see all my data from all the websites I'm tracking in one dashboard."

1. Use Data Studio. This kind of thing is pretty much exactly what it was designed for -- you can blend data from all your GA properties into a single data source and build reports off of it.

2. If you must have your dashboard inside Google Analytics, you could shift your account structure down one level. Instead of 1 account, 3 properties, you could create 1 account, 1 property, and send all the data to the same GA tracking code. Then, you use different views to segment your websites' data--and one of those views will include all the data from all the sites. The others will be filtered (probably by hostname, but you can do it a number of ways.)

For example, this property would have an "All data" view, a "Website A" view, "Website B" view, etc.
