Dashboard
The Dashboard is our modern take on business information, presented through widgets. This page gives you the option to see information about your reporting, social media accounts, and even the weather.

The Layout section on the top of the Dashboard allows you to edit the widgets. This would be to add, delete and rearrange the widgets. You can also drag and drop the widgets within the Dashboard page itself. |
| This toggle next to the Layout allows you to change the Dashboard view. Currently, this will move from the new Dashboard to the Legacy Dashboard. |

Setup can be done from the Dashboard by selecting the Layout option in the upper right corner of the screen.Under the Layout section, there is an option to Add New Widget, which displays all available widgets and allows you to add any of them to your current dashboard. Multiple copies of the same widgets can be used as well. Follow the steps below to add a widget to the dashboard:
