1 The main dashboard users in optometry companies are back-office business analysts, who usually make up a small percentage of a company’s employees. Therefore, although one Dashboards server can support no more than 50 dashboard users, it is typically sufficient for organizations that have up to 150 locations. See Dashboards Server Requirements.
