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.

Configure your dashboard

You can customize your dashboard to suit your needs by changing the layout and widgets. From the dashboard, click Configure dashboard () on the upper right to start the configuration. You may also press Alt + C.

 

Add widgets 

1. In the upper right, click Add Widget to view the list of widgets that you can add. You may refer to the drop-down below for the list of widget types.

  • Breeding process -  Displays a chart for breeding activities. Each activity is clickable and serves as shortcuts to applications.

  • Favorites - Displays the list of applications the user marked as favorite (with a green start beside the application name). 

  • Recently used tools - Displays the list of recently used applications and when they were last accessed. 

  • Nurseries - Displays the list of nursery experiments (both in progress and finalized) that belong to your program. The widget will display the experiment name, year, season, stage, and design type.

  • Trials - Displays the list of trial experiments (both in progress and finalized) that belong to your program. The widget will display the experiment name, year, season, stage, and design type.

  • Sites - Displays the locations with active occurrences under your program on an interactive map. Clicking each location pin will show the name of the location, the number of occurrences there, the country, and its coordinates.

  • Tools - Displays a list of tool shortcuts. The tools displayed are selected by the user.

 

2. Add your widget of choice by clicking Add on the right side of the widget name.

 

3. Wait for the notification that confirms the successful addition of your widget to the dashboard.

You can add the same type of widgets multiple times. Widgets that are already added to your dashboard will have an Added status next to their name.

 

4. Once you are done adding widgets, click Close.

 

Delete widgets

1. If you want to remove a widget, click Remove widget (X) at the upper right of the widget.

 

2. A modal dialog will confirm whether or not you want to delete the widget. Click Confirm.

You can tick the checkbox beside Don’t Ask Me Again if you want to skip this confirmation whenever you delete a widget.

 

3. Wait for the dashboard to refresh. Your widget has now been deleted!

 

Rename widgets

You can rename your widgets to be more meaningful and customized to your workflow. For example, you can add multiple Tool widgets. Each widget can be renamed as a specific part of your workflow (e.g. Harvest of trials).

1. To do this, simply click on the name of the widget with the dotted underline.

 

2. A pop-up will appear beside the name of your widget. In the text field, write the desired name.

 

3. Once satisfied, click to Apply. Otherwise, click to Reset the action.

 

4. Wait for the system to save your changes. Your widget has now been renamed!

 

Collapse/Expand widgets

If you have multiple widgets, it may be useful to only see their contents when needed. In this case, you can collapse (minimize) or expand (maximize) the widget. By default, all widgets are in the expanded view.

1. On the upper right corner of your widget, click - to Collapse the widget.

 

2. Conversely, click + to expand it.

 

Customize the layout

1. In the upper right, click Edit Layout. 

 

2. A pop-up window will appear showing you the different dashboard layouts available. You may refer to the drop-down fields below to get a better understanding of how each layout will appear. Select your preferred layout by clicking on it.
