How do I add dashboard tiles to my main menu?

Your Main Menu Dashboard is a quick view and insight as to how your operation is performing. Each dashboard allows you to customize how the data is displayed.

NOTE: The dashboard will refresh every five minutes.

To Add a Dashboard Tile:

  1. Click "+" at the top left of the dashboard workspace (under the main menu toolbar). This will present a list of available widgets.
  2. Double-click on the desired widget to add. See the available widgets below.
  3. Size each dashboard tile as you desire. All dashboard tiles have a Maximize/Minimize button at the top right, which will adjust a tile's size based on the space it occupies. You can also change a tile's size by dragging <-> to resize.
    NOTE: As some dashboard tiles require a set amount of space to display, we recommend minimizing the size of all tiles to facilitate adding new ones.
  4. Move each dashboard tile to achieve the desired placement.
