The Connection Explorer (Explorer link, right side of Network Dashboard) shows all application flows and TCP Connections for an application in one table.

You can sort the table based on network KPIs to locate flows with performance issues; then you can drill down and analyze the supporting connections in right-click Connection Dashboards.
