A date range filter is displayed for certain widgets. You can click on a date range to apply this filter (or) click the calendar icon to step through them. |
The dashboard settings screen allows you to select the widgets to display in the dashboard. You can select from zero to one or more instances of each widget type. The advantage to have more than one instance of a widget is that each instance can be for a different property and have different parameters set (e.g. time period).
Select how you would like to layout the widgets on the screen. Fullscreen provides the full screen width for each widget and Two Column will fit two widgets side by side in a more compressed format.
