# Overview: Performance Screen The Performance Screen allows each user to select and quickly access the Metrics, Goals, Databoards, and Reports that matter to them most. From the Performance Screen, you can get instant insights into your top-performing and under-performing Metrics. You can also customize what's displayed and track your Account activity in Databox. ## How to use your Performance Screen The Performance Screen is user-specific, which means that its settings are unique for each individual user within an account and that it cannot be set for other users. ![](/assets/overview-performance-screen_1.900f23124a6c6936615fcb7310924574cce2542422a2a0411e4e204b3c1d0dc1.969cd774.jpg) Follow [this Onboarding Guide](/overview-onboarding) for step-by-step instructions on how to get set up with Databox.
