The dashboard is the landing page of the core breeding domain. Here, users can organize relevant tools, and display important information about your program, experiments, and products in one, easy-to-access place. It can provide users with a summary of their experiments, shipments, locations, recently used tools, and even a visual summary of the breeding process.
