Dashboards
Dashboard is a progress control panel providing a quick access to the most valuable and constantly changing data of the system. Dashboard data is added to widgets. If needed, several dashboards may be created for different purposes to provide better organization and data clarity.

For example, when several departments or administrators need separate dashboards where most widgets are similar but several other ones should be different, there is no need to create each widget from scratch.
