Glossary

Dashboard - it is a space between Header/Main Menu and Footer on a CT2 Home Page. It contains various Panels with valuable information such as "Weather", "RSS News feeds" or "Truck Dom Stats Dashboard Report".

See Fig below.

Settings

Levels of dashboard panel management:

  • CT2 Admin level settings
    • settings for each dashboard panel (manage defaults, etc).
    • Location: Home > Admin > Dashboard
  • Admin level user settings
    • Location: Home > Admin > Users and Offices
    • ("User profile" managed by superuser)
  • User level user settings.
    • Location: Home > User profile
    • ("User profile" managed by user)

Company level settings

In the future it would be also use convenient to have dashboard settings at the company level. In this case if company X purchased widget Y then all users associated with that company will inherit it (with default settings defined at the Company level).

Currently there is no clear link between user and company. User is associated with 2 companies: one through address and another through visibility. Possibly in next version this would be re-considered. See also Users.

Admin level user settings

These could be same list as the above (in this case it would define defaults or could be used to change settings at the Admin level at some point). Or they could include additional settings. Some parameters could be managed at admin level only. In this case they would appear as read only in User level User settings.

Company level settings

In the future it would be also use convenient to have dashboard settings at the company level. In this case if company X purchased widget Y then all users associated with that company will inherit it (with default settings defined at the Company level).

Currently there is no clear link between user and company. User is associated with 2 companies: one through address and another through visibility. Possibly in next version this would be re-considered. See also Users.

CT2 Admin level settings

Similarly to #Company level settings these settings regulate defaults in this case on a highest level. Also there could be some other global settings associated with specific panel/widget/DR.
