Viewing the dashboard

Dashboard > Status displays first after you log in to the web UI. 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 FortiVoice unit, including uptime, system resource usage, license information, service status, firmware version, system time, and statistics history.

To view the dashboard, go to Dashboard > Status.

Hiding, showing and moving widget

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.
