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.

The number of phones that are auto discovered but have not been assigned extensions are also displayed. If this number is abnormally high, it may mean the FortiVoice unit is under MAC address flooding attack and its performance will be compromised. You can remove the phones.
