Network Dashboard Widget and Template

Both widgets and network dashboard templates are maintained and managed in the Network Dashboard Widget & Template Manager.

Widget

The Widget is the fundamental element of a network dashboard. The Network Dashboard Widgets in the system are included in the following three categories by default:

Built-in Widgets — contains the pre-installed widgets. This category is accessible to all users but can only be modified and deleted by system administrators.
Shared Widgets in Tenant — contains widgets that are accessible to all users in this tenant.
My Widgets — contains widgets that are only accessible to yourself and can be manually saved as shared widgets. You can find your private widgets in all domains that you can access under one tenant.

	Note: Some generic widgets are not saved in the Network Dashboard Widget and Template Manager. See Generic Widgets for more details.

The Widget can also be categorized based on whether Qapp is referenced.

Static Widget — gets the results directly from the system database. For example, Configlet by Design Filter, Configlet by Config Parser, etc.
Monitor Widget — binds with a Qapp file and gets the real-time results. For example, Single Device Table, Multi-Device Data Table, etc.

Note: The Run button is only available in a dashboard containing at least one monitor Widget.

Dashboard Template

A Dashboard Template is a non-initialized network dashboard containing a group of widgets. It has the following categories by default:

Built-in Templates — contains the pre-installed dashboard templates. The system offers a dozen built-in dashboard templates to help you create a network dashboard for different working scenarios, such as Overall Health Monitor and Device Statistic Observer. This category is accessible to all users but can only be modified by the system administrators.
Shared Templates in Tenant — contains dashboard templates accessible to all users in this tenant.
My Templates — contains dashboard templates that are only accessible to yourself and can be manually set as shared templates. You can find your private templates in all domains that you can access under one tenant.
