Manage dashboard widgets in

You can customize your dashboard with various widgets. Widgets like Events by Status, Data Sources, and SLA Average are helpful to see at a glance. Dashboard widgets can also be resource intensive. To optimize performance, you might choose to make some widgets active and make other widgets inactive. When widgets are set to inactive, their data is not calculated or displayed on the dashboard.

The settings described in this article are for your dashboard only, when you are logged in with your user name. They do not apply to other users.

To specify active and inactive widgets, follow these steps:

1. From the Home menu, select Administration.
2. Select Product Settings, then Manage Widgets.
3. Turn on widgets that you want to appear on the dashboard with their associated data. Turn other widgets off.

To save more room on the dashboard, follow these steps:

1. View the dashboard. If you are not already there, from the main menu, select Home.
2. Locate the widgets you set to inactive. Their data is not displayed, but they still have space on the dashboard.
3. For each widget, select the gear icon and select either Collapse to minimize the space or Remove to remove the widget entirely. If you want to restore the widget, continue to the next section.

To restore widgets removed from the dashboard, follow these steps:

1. On the dashboard, select Configure.
2. For any widgets that you want to display, select On. Then select Close.
