Dashboard form

Dashboard form

Complete the form with the following properties:

  • Name: Name of the dashboard.
  • Set as Default: Each user has a default dashboard, displayed immediately after login.
  • Description: Add details about the dashboard, such as planned widgets or usage guidelines.
  • Layout: The column-based layout is the default, aligning widgets to a grid. The fixed position layout allows free widget placement without grid constraints.
  • Background Color: Customize the dashboard with a background color from a color palette.
  • Dashboard Users: By default, only the dashboard creator can view and edit it. Use the Dashboard Users list to add other users with editing permissions.
  • Dashboard Domains: To grant access to a group of users within a shared domain, add the domain to the Dashboard Domains list. This provides all users in that domain access to the dashboard.

Adding a User to the Dashboard

To add a user with viewing permissions, click the Add button, then select users from the list that appears:

  • Only by Admins: Only domain users with administrator privileges can configure the dashboard.
  • All: All users within the domain have configuration permissions for the dashboard.
