what is PAR dashboard, what does "PAR" mean?

what is PAR dashboard (table name par_dashboard), what does "PAR" mean?

[Tricia Cornish]

Correct - we still support the legacy dashboards (which are stored in pa_dashboard); identifying and differentiating dashboards seems to be relegated to the table name. Dashboards for the new Platform Analytics Experience (you might see reference to PAe) are stored in par_dashboard table.

thank you. PA within par means platform analytics, then what does "r" mean? 

[Tricia Cornish]

Since reporting is enhanced with unified visualizations, I have always assumed that it's Platform Analytics & Reporting.

correct, the core UI dashboards are stored in pa_dashboards table
