Clicking NEW allows the user to create his or her own personal dashboard. Previous tiles are removed if the user already has a personal dashboard.

Clicking COPY copies the current dashboard and makes it the user's new dashboard. The user can then add or delete tiles from his or her dashboard without changing the original dashboard. This option is particularly useful when a user has been assigned to a group dashboard but needs additional tiles.

If this option is not visible, it has been disabled by the administrator.
