 In addition to the standard custom settings there are two docker specific environment variables `MUID` and `MGID` which are used to set the user and group IDs used by metabase when running in a docker container. These settings make it possible to match file permissions when files, such as the application database, are shared between the host and the container.

 Administrators of Metabase can create collections to put saved questions in. Depending on the permissions you've been given to collections, you'll be able to view the questions inside, edit them, and move questions from one collection to another. Questions that aren't saved in any collection will appear in the "Everything else" section of the main Questions page, and are visible to all Metabase users in your organization.

 *  Place the most important saved question cards near the top of the dashboard, and/or make them bigger than the other cards. That will help draw people’s attention to what matters most.
 *  If you have more than 10 cards on a dashboard, think about breaking the dashboard into two separate ones. You don't want to overwhelm people with too much information, and each dashboard should revolve around one theme or topic. Remember — you can make as many dashboards as you want, so you don’t have to cram everything into just one.
