Changing the default dashboard template
You can use the GUI to change the default dashboard template. The Optimal template contains a set of popular default dashboards and FortiView monitors. The Comprehensive template contains a set of default dashboards as well as all monitors and FortiViews. The Comprehensive template will be familiar to users coming from previous versions of FortiOS.
