You can congure widgets to reect your specic needs. The available conguration options vary depending
on the widget type. You must congure some of the widgets before they display any data. Many widgets
can provide or accept data from one or more widgets. You can use this feature to set the data from one
widget as lter and display related information on a single dashboard.
