 Dashboard can be used to access interesting information in system quickly. If no dashboard is defined, QuickBuild will display a default dashboard displaying the configuration tree. The default dashboard will saved as your own dashboard once it is edited (change layout, edit gadget, change name, etc).
  
 h1. Create and edit dashboard
 Every user can create multiple self-defined dashboards and can switch between them. To create a dashboard, login to QuickBuild and hit the add dashboard link from the operations menu:

  Name or description of an existing dashboard can be changed by editing the dashboard from the operations menu.
  
 h1. Change dashboard layout
 The dashboard layout by default includes two columns, and you can change to use different layout from the layout menu:

 h1. Manage gadgets in dashboard
  
 Gadgets can be added into a dashboard from the gadget menu:

 When a gadget is selected from the gadget menu, a gadget setting window will popup to ask for settings of the gadget. Specify proper settings and save the setting, then the gadget will be added to the dashboard. Please note that the gadget will be initially added to the left-most column, and you can drag them to desired place if necessary. For an existing gadget, the setting menu allows one to refresh, delete, or edit the gadget like below:

 Dashboard can be shared by editing the dashboard and select the groups to share with.
