Dashboard Configuration and Layouts
Explains how Dashboard layouts, tabs, and user permissions for configuration are managed.
Configuration Permissions
Access to configure the Dashboard depends on user roles. A designated 'Layout Administrator' role typically has full control.
-
Admin: Can view all records, add/modify/remove individual tabs and widgets, export widgets/tabs, configure default tabs, and configure global widget properties (affecting all users).
-
Layout Admin: Same as Admin, plus access to the 'Layout Administration' button to assign tabs and modification rights to other users.
-
Users with <No Flags> or other roles: Can typically view records based on their hierarchy, view assigned default tabs, potentially add/modify their own individual tabs and widgets, and export widgets/tabs, depending on permissions granted by the Layout Admin.
Dashboard Layout
Each user has their own Dashboard layout consisting of one or more Tabs. These tabs can be a combination of 'Default Tabs' configured by an Administrator and 'Individual Tabs' created by the user (if permitted).
Default Tabs
Configured by a Layout Administrator and assigned to users. These tabs always appear first in the tab order.
-
Enter 'Edit' mode (button usually at the bottom left).
-
Use the 'Layout Administration' button (visible only to Layout Admins).
-
Assign users/roles to 'read only' access or 'modification allowed' access for the selected default tab.
-
Set the 'Tab Weight' to control the order (lower numbers appear first). For example, Incidents=1, Hazards=5, Injuries=10, Actions=15.
-
Save changes.
Individual Tabs
Users (if permitted) can create their own tabs, visible only to them.
-
Click the '+' button on the tab menu.
-
Enter a name for the new tab and select 'Add New Tab'.
-
The new tab appears. Enter 'Edit' mode.
-
Use options like 'Rename tab', 'Delete tab', and 'Order Tabs' (using up/down arrows) to manage your individual tabs.
-
Add widgets as needed (See 'Managing Dashboard Widgets').
-
Save changes.
Note: The number of tabs and widgets can impact dashboard loading time.
