Dashboards can be created and set as the default for many different views of the system (depending on standalone mode the options to do this differ). More information on Dashboards can be found HERE: Dashboards
- defined application wide (not stored per user)
- names are unique, cannot be changed after creation (because they are used to link into other places, like default dashboards
- permissions per dashboard define what roles can view the specific dashboard
- care should to be taken to ensure that a dashboard that is visible to a customer does not contain graphs that the customer should not see (no permissions exist for charts)
- allows admin to adjust if specific dashboards should override auto generated dashboards
- if a dashboard is deleted which is also set to a users default dashboard the user will just see the regular index page because the one picked cannot be found.
