Viewing the dashboard

Dashboard > Status displays first after you log in to the GUI. It contains a dashboard with widgets that each indicate performance level or other statistics.

By default, widgets display the serial number and current system status of the FortiMail unit, including uptime, system resource usage, alert messages, host name, firmware version, system time, and email throughput.

Hiding, showing and moving widgets

The dashboard is customizable. You can select which widgets to display, where they are located on the tab, and whether they are minimized or maximized.

To move a widget, position your mouse cursor on the widget’s title bar, then click and drag the widget to its new location.

To show or hide a widget select Manage Widget and then select the widgets you want displayed on the Dashboard. If the widget is greyed out, the widget will not display. Select Apply when you have made your selections.

Options vary slightly from widget to widget, but always include options to close, refresh, or minimize/maximize the widget.

FortiMail Cloud User-add feature (license based)

This license-based add-on feature behaves as a user accounting tool in deployments with a large number of users where most of them use few resources. Many users normally could make a deployment cost-prohibitive, so this license aligns the cost with their reduced system resource usage.

For example, large educational organizations have a large student-to-staff ratio, yet student email accounts have a fraction of the email volume of teachers. This license reduces the costs of email accounts for the students.

Note

This FortiMail Cloud feature requires the purchase of SKU FC-10-FECLD-599-02-12.

You can view the status of low-resource additional users by going to Dashboard > Status in the License Information widget, where the number of Active accounts, the total Limit, and your Regular and Additional maximum values are displayed.
