Custom domains for dashboards offer a way to enhance your brand's identity and make your dashboards more accessible to your audience. By allowing you to replace the default Dashbreeze URL with your own unique (sub)domain name, this feature provides a professional touch that can help improve recognition and trust. Whether you're sharing insights with clients, colleagues, or the public, having a custom domain makes it easier for users to remember and access your dashboards.
