Next, 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.
