Dashboard Basics
The Dashboard is the central element for controlling and visualizing process information in the form of Widgets.
To call up a Dashboard, you must first create a dashboard with tabs in the "Configuration". Rights are also required in the user administration.
You can quickly switch between these 3 tenant areas at any time using the 9-dot symbol in the top right-hand corner of the header.

To undo the changes that have not yet been saved, click the wrench again - while in Edit mode - to select the menu item "Undo" and review the changes that were made previously, even after saving. If you reload the browser tab or leave the page, this is no longer possible.

Settings
Under "Settings", placeholders, the dashboard tab name and the entities used in the widgets (signals, events, conditions, etc.) can be edited quickly and easily.
By using "placeholders", the titles of several widgets used in the dashboard tab can be changed quickly and easily.
The "Name" of the placeholder can be entered in the title of several widgets using two curly brackets {{ ... }}. The title of all placeholders can then be changed via the "Value" column.
