Dashboards

What is dashboards ?

Dashboards are used to create new screen layouts with system-defined or process-developer-defined lists of widgets.

The dashboard uses a 12-column grid layout to organize its panels. This layout is based on dividing the width of the screen into 12 equal parts (columns). Each panel can span multiple columns, depending on its size and importance. By assigning different widths to panels (e.g., 3, 6, or 12 columns), the layout remains flexible and responsive. This structure allows the content to rearrange itself dynamically on different screen sizes, ensuring optimal viewing on both large and small devices.

After panels are added to the list, you can define their width to adjust the layout according to the screen width.
