Presence indicator
When you are signed in and look at a dashboard, you can know who is looking at
the same dashboard as you are through a presence indicator, which displays
avatars of users who have recently interacted with the dashboard. The default
timeframe is 10 minutes. To see the user’s name, hover over the user’s avatar.
The avatars come from Gravatar
When there are more active users on a dashboard than can fit within the presence indicator, click the +X icon. Doing this will open dashboard insights, which contain more details about recent user activity.
