About dashboards and widgets

In Visma.net ERP, a dashboard is a collection of widgets that are displayed on a single page and are designed to give you needed information at a glance.
A widget is a small component that delivers a particular type of information that you view or manage by using Visma.net ERP.
From the dashboard, you can click any widget to further explore the information it contains.
The page that displays the collection of widgets is referred to as a Dashboard page.

Dashboards may serve different purposes, and if you have appropriate permissions, you can create dashboards that display information from a variety of sources, including Visma.net ERP inquiries, wiki articles, and even external pages.
If the source of the information shown on the dashboard is an Visma.net ERP window, the data from the window can be displayed in various types of charts and tables, with the data filtered to meet the particular selection criteria according to your needs.

In this topic, you can find information about the supported types of widgets.

You can add the following types of widgets to the dashboards:

  • Charts:
