Configure Dashlets

The Configure Dashlets allows administrators to manage the availability and visibility of dashlets on the dashboard for different user roles. Dashlets are individual components that display specific data or functionality, such as documents, users, or key metrics, making the dashboard customizable and role-specific.

Steps to Configure the Dashlets.

1. Click the Configure Dashboard button next to the Edit Dashboard button. The user can see the dropdown menu Configure Dashlets.
2. Click on the Configure Dashlets, and the Configure Dashlets window will pop up.
3. The Configure Dashlets window will display two tabs on the left:
   • Access: To select a Set of Dashlets available for each Role
   • Default View: To select the Default list of Dashlets for each Role.

   

4. In the Access tab, the user can select the roles from the dropdown menu under the Available or column to assign dashlets to specific roles and click the Save button to save the changes and the Cancel to discard the changes.

   

5. Click on the Add button, and a new entry will appear under the list of available dashlet as (collection Name). While adding a new dashlet, the user has to mention the Name and Description in the right-side fields.

   

6. Click the Remove button to initiate the removal process. A confirmation window will appear with the message: Are you sure that you want to remove the collection? Also, the user can only remove the newly added fields and not the pre-defined fields.
