Dashboard General Information
The Dashboard is the part of the application that displays predefined sets of data, application links, or other information that can be collected from the system and displayed in one of the widgets. By default, when the user opens the Dashboard section, the default dashboard is displayed. If there is no default dashboard defined, an appropriate message is displayed. Otherwise, the dashboard is bookmarked as default in the section All dashboard is displayed. If the user has no dashboards created, an appropriate message is displayed with the possibility to create a new dashboard either by clicking buttons in the table, or above the table. Otherwise, the user will see the list of dashboards.
