Overview

Dashboard Widgets are graphical components that display data for specific LMS features and actions. This article will provide you with an overview of each widget type available with the Admin Refresh interface.

Admins can customize their Admin Dashboard so that only the widgets that are relevant to their organization are visible on the dashboard. Order and what filters are applied to each widget are determined by the Admin's preference. Multiple tiles of the same widget can be added to the same dashboard and multiple dashboards can be created for different audiences. To see how to customize your Widgets, please visit How to Create a Widget.

Note: Only Users with the System Admin security Role can add new Dashboards. The System Admin can provide another Admin the rights to edit the Dashboard in the creation of the Dashboard.

Page Details

The Admin Dashboard is the default landing page of the Admin portal. In order to navigate back to the Dashboard from any page within the Admin portal, the Admin can select the Absorb logo on the top left side of the page.

The following Admin Dashboard Widgets are customizable by the Admin and not all that are listed below have to be used, only the widgets that make sense for your LMS.

Note: The data you can view is dependent on your Admin Role permission set. Contact your System Administrator with any questions if you are unable to see information or feel that data is missing from your view.
