# Synthetic Dashboards

## Overview{% #overview %}

When you create a Synthetic test, Datadog [collects data](https://docs.datadoghq.com/synthetics/metrics/) and generates dashboards about your stack, browser applications, or overall tests' performance, private locations, and events.

Access your Synthetic Monitoring dashboards by filtering for `Synthetic Monitoring` in the search query of the [**Dashboard List**](https://app.datadoghq.com/dashboard/lists) or by clicking on the dropdown menu under [**Dashboards**](https://app.datadoghq.com/synthetics/tests/) on the [Synthetic Monitoring & Continuous Testing page](https://app.datadoghq.com/synthetics/tests).

## Customize your Synthetic dashboards{% #customize-your-synthetic-dashboards %}

You can clone [dashboards](https://docs.datadoghq.com/dashboards/) and customize them by team, environment, or region using template variables. You can also customize your view and create a [saved view](https://docs.datadoghq.com/continuous_testing/explorer/saved_views/) of your cloned dashboard.

### Edit template variables{% #edit-template-variables %}

The generated Synthetic dashboards automatically contain a set of default template variables. Use the template variable dropdown menus to narrow the data shown in the dashboard. For example, you can filter for a specific browser type with the `Browser` template variable. For more information, see the [Template Variables](https://docs.datadoghq.com/dashboards/template_variables/) documentation. To clone your Synthetic dashboard, click the **Clone** button next to the **Configure** icon.

The Synthetic dashboard has a default view which you can adjust. Click the **Edit** icon to enter edit mode and customize your template variables.
