Dashboard
Dashboard module aims to provide users with a centralized interface to access key information and essential tools after logging into the system. The main objective is to enhance the user experience by offering a quick and personalized overview of relevant aspects of the website or application.
A Dashboard is a custom Drupal entity that typically includes widgets or blocks that display relevant data such as traffic statistics, content summaries, important notifications, and more. The customization capability allows users to adjust the layout and content of the dashboard according to their preferences, ensuring that the most relevant information is easily accessible.
Users may wear different hats, so it is possible to define multiple dashboards and manage access to them through permissions for an improved experience.
