Admin Dashboard Widgets
Admin Refresh Experience: Admin Dashboard
Table of Contents
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.
