To create Custom Dashboards in Calxa you'll first need to use the Dashboard Manager to create, sort, group and organise your dashboards. It is also in the Dashboard Manager where you'll link the required data sources that you'll later use in the Dashboard Tiles.

Create and Edit Properties

Create Dashboard

Pre-set Dashboards

Calxa provides 4 Pre-set dashboards which cannot be edited or customised, these are annotated with the Padlock symbols.

Copy Pre-set Dashboard

If you'd like to edit or customise a pre-set dashboard in any way, you'll need to copy it first. The copied dashboard will then be an editable version that can be customised further.

Group and Order Dashboards
