What is Dashboard?

Answer
The dashboard aggregates multiple project files (either located on your machine or online) in a virtual master project to help you get a higher-level perspective on your projects.
It offers the advantage of bringing projects together in order to analyze them, without having to manually insert them as subprojects into a master file expressly created for this purpose.
The feature is especially useful to observe resources – it is actually a frequent scenario that in overlapping projects considered individually resources are not overallocated, but when considered as a whole, shared resources across multiple projects are assigned to more work than the normal working capacity.

The application tells you that you have an overallocated resource by making the entire resource font with red in Resource Sheet view.
In order to solve the overallocation, you need to link the tasks and specify a predecessor.

Answer
A custom view may come in handy when you do not want to modify the standard Gantt Chart by adding customization, alter the table, etc. Think when multiple people work on the same project and they all have different needs and preferences - you just go on and create a custom Gantt Chart that fits your needs and speedup your project analysis process while maintaining the other views clean.
