Introduction to the default reference menus and dashboards#

This reference guide contains high level details of the contents of the default set of shipped reference menus and dashboards.

Menus typically contain links to dashboards and model forms, and may contain sub-menus. Dashboards typically contain a set of widgets that provide an overview of data or easy access to related functionality. These widgets include:

  • Counters: indicating counts of items at a hierarchy

  • Charts: a variety of charts showing breakdowns or trends

  • Tables: details of data at a hierarchy in a table format

  • Quick links: a set of shortcuts to access related functionality directly from the dashboard.

While the set of menus and dashboards are provided as defaults, not all these may be available to you, since some access depends on available licenses as well as global settings.

Note that menus and dashboards can be created and modified, so that customization can be carried out according to specific needs. Refer to the relevant topics on menus and dashboards in the Core Feature Guide.
