Appearance
Dashboard Configuration
The Dashboard Configuration workspace lets administrators shape how the General Dashboard appears for a service. It controls the flow of sections, which sections are visible, and the order of components inside each section.
Navigation: Administration → General Setup → Configurations → Dashboard Configuration
What It Controls
Dashboard configuration is service-aware and config-driven:
- Section flow determines the order in which dashboard sections appear.
- Section visibility decides whether a section is shown or hidden.
- Component order controls the arrangement of widgets inside a section.
- Runtime rendering still respects user permissions, so a configured section or component is only shown if the signed-in user can actually view it.
How the Dashboard Is Resolved
The live dashboard combines three layers:
- Service profile defaults decide which dashboard sections are available for the current service.
- Saved dashboard configuration defines section order, visibility, and component order.
- User permissions filter the final result so users only see sections and widgets they are allowed to access.
TIP
Each service works with a single dashboard configuration. Administrators do not need to manage multiple named dashboards for the same service.
Page Layout
The dashboard configuration tab is built around draggable section cards.
| Area | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Section cards | Represent each available dashboard section such as Financial Metrics, Deposits, Loans, Shares, or Activity |
| Visible toggle | Hides or shows the section without removing it from the saved dashboard flow |
| Component list | Shows the widgets inside the section and lets you drag them into the desired order |
| Save Changes | Persists your dashboard flow and component arrangement |
| Ignore Changes | Reverts all unsaved edits back to the last loaded state |
Reordering Sections
To change the dashboard flow:
- Open Dashboard Configuration
- Drag a section card by its handle
- Drop it where you want it to appear
- Click Save Changes
This changes the order in which sections appear on the live dashboard.
Hiding or Showing Sections
Each section card has a Visible switch.
- Turn it off to keep the section in configuration but hide it from the dashboard.
- Turn it on to make the section eligible for rendering again.
Hidden sections keep their saved component order so they can be restored later without rebuilding the layout from scratch.
Reordering Components Within a Section
If a section is enabled, its widget list appears below the section header.
Examples:
- Financial Metrics may contain KPI cards, revenue trend, journal breakdown, and business unit performance.
- Deposits may contain KPI cards, deposit portfolio, deposit trend, and the summary table.
- Shares may contain KPI cards, share portfolio, member growth, and dividend summary.
To change the order:
- Drag a component card within the section
- Drop it in the new position
- Save the changes
The live dashboard uses this saved component order when rendering the section.
Unsaved Changes
The configuration screen highlights unsaved edits at both page and section level.
- Dirty sections show an orange outline
- A section-level Unsaved changes chip appears on modified cards
- A Changed: hint tells you whether the pending edit affects the section flow, visibility, or components
Ignoring Changes
You can discard changes in two ways:
- Ignore Changes at the top of the page resets the entire dashboard editor
- Ignore changes on a section card resets only that section
Section reset restores:
- the section's saved position in the dashboard flow
- its saved visible/hidden state
- its saved component order
What Users See on the Live Dashboard
When users open the General Dashboard:
- sections render in the configured order
- components render in the configured order inside each section
- sections and components that the user lacks permission for do not appear
- if the dashboard configuration cannot be loaded, the app falls back to a safe default section flow
Recommended Operating Pattern
- Keep high-signal sections near the top of the flow
- Use section visibility to simplify role-specific dashboards
- Group related charts on the same row by keeping their component order aligned
- Save after each deliberate layout change so the live dashboard stays predictable for end users
