   Option	Description
   Responsive	The number of columns the dashboard has is determined by screen size. Widgets can only be re-sized horizontally, but the dashboard will look good on all screen sizes.
   NOC	The number of columns the dashboard has is explicitly set. Widgets can be re-sized both vertically and horizontally, but the dashboard will look best on the screen size it's originally set up on. This option will work best for a Network Operation Center dashboard.
   Standalone	Only one widget can be added as full-size.

   3. In the FortiGate Selection area, enable the device dropdown.

      Option	Description
