Basic terminology
Workspaces
Spaces are akin to folders inside of which you can create multiple dashboards. An example of a space in a Financial Organisation, could be seperate space for Risk Department, Disbursements and Collections
Refer to Spaces for more information
Dashboards
Dashboards are similar to an Excel Workbook consisting of multiple storyboards (tabs). For ex. "Customer Transaction" space as shown can further be organised into multiple dashboards. Each of the dashboard inturn have multiple storyboards
Refer to Dashboards for more information
Story boards
Each Storyboard is nothing but a collection of data stories. For example. "Customer Transaction" dashboard can contain one storyboard per region/product category.
