Adding a New Dashboard Page

The Universal Dashboard page provides context-sensitive Widgets based on your node selection in the Geographic Map. And the My Default Page provides customizable Widgets that are not context-sensitive to the Geographic Map—because the Geographic Map Widget is not available on the My Default Page or a New Dashboard Page. New Dashboard pages are convenient for network administrators to create customizable Dashboard Widgets for SonicWALL GMS users belonging to a particular SonicWALL GMS domain group. This allows for different Dashboard pages for each user.

To add a new Dashboard page, launch the Manage Page and Widgets configuration page. And click the plus (+) icon in the top-right corner. The following window displays.

Enter a new name for your new Dashboard page. Most commonly, network administrators create new Dashboard pages for managed-security providers servicing customers around the world. You can also create Dashboard pages for your company’s different departments in Engineering and IT Operations for customized Dashboard views.

Managing Your Widgets

Each Widget contains control options at the top panel that include the following options:

•	Widget Settings—Click the cog wheel icon to edit, delete, or copy the widget to another page.

•	Refresh Widget—Click the ying yang icon to refresh the data and statistics for the widget. Widgets automatically refresh every 60 seconds.

•	Minimize—Click the minimize window icon to hide your Widget in the bottom-right corner.

•	Restore/Maximize—Click the four arrows in four corners icon to display the widget in window in maximized view. Click the icon again to restore the Widget back to its original window size.

Widgets can be resized by holding the bottom corners to the desired window size.

Widgets can also be reordered by drag and drop selection. Selecting a Widget and dragging it over another Widget changes the top panel to a darker color—this represents a Widget that is overlapping another Widget and the following message displays.

The drop position of the Widget allows you to reorder the position of your widget before the selected widget. For example in this case, The Scheduled Tasks Widget is placed in the drop position before the Applications Widget. The Dashboard page refreshes and now the widgets are reordered as follows:

1	Sites Widget

2	Scheduled Tasks Widget

3	Applications Widget

4	Logs Widget

You can also re-order the position of Widgets by using the Manage Page and Widgets configuration page. In the Manage Page and Widgets configuration page, drag the Widget you want to re-order to your preferred drop location. The two Widgets swap locations.
