Dashboard Template

Now, we will look into what is called a dashboard template.

The dashboard for new users is created from a dashboard template.

The template determines the dashboard tabs, content items, and layout of the dashboard.

Your configuration includes a default dashboard template. All user dashboards are initially based on this template.

Users can customize their own dashboards, but must follow template rules (For example: Users cannot remove tiles that are configured as required).

To access the dashboard templates task, navigate to Manage > Administration > Dashboard Manager > Dashboard Templates.
