Dashboard Widgets
Widgets are tiles that displays snippets of information on a particular activity or KPI. Teramind has many widgets you can place on your dashboard according to your need.
The widgets are placed on a virtual grid. They can be moved around on it. When you move or resize a widget, other widgets around it will reposition themselves to make room for it.
Good to know: If you set the Dashboard’s date to current date (Today), the data of all the widgets will refresh automatically every 5 minutes.
