The Dashboard page gives you the flexibility to customize the arrangement of elements to suit your personal preferences.

To move the dashboard block to the desired location, move the cursor over the six-dot icon. When the cursor changes to a drag icon, drag the dashboard to the desired location on the screen.

The dashboard bar is now in a convenient location, giving you easy access to important items and information. This ability to move provides a more personalized dashboard experience.  

To quickly navigate to the control panel sections, use the navigation menu, which is located to the left of the main table. It is a list of the control panel sections available to the user.

The menu has different states: Expand/Collapse menu, Main menu, Favorites, and Popular. The following switch buttons are available at the top of the menu.

  • Expand/Collapse menu —  use the button to hide the main menu to the left side of the screen;
  • Main menu — the full list of items available to the user;
  • Favorites — items you have added to your favorites list;
  • Popular — the most used items;
  • Search  — use menu search to quickly navigate through the items. Just type the first few characters of the item name to see it in the list.  

Table (list of elements)

To perform an operation in the table, select one or multiple raws and click the corresponding button on the toolbar. To select a group of elements, you can use the following buttons:

Ctrl — select a number of raws. 
Shift —  to select a group of elements, click the first item, press and hold down the Shift key, and then click the last item.

Some buttons may be inactive meaning that the operation cannot be performed against that element. Select the element, and the button will get activated. However, in some circumstances, the buttons may remain inactive (sometimes, the reasons can be found in hints).

In the User settings module, you can change the number of rows displayed per page. This will help you work with tables containing too many raws.

Clicking the names of the raws will sort data in the table. Information can be sorted out by one or multiple columns.

At the bottom of the table, you can see statistical information about the table's elements. If no raws are selected, information is displayed for all the raws, otherwise — only for the selected elements.

Use the following shortcuts:

 CTRL + ALT + X — show all the tabs.
 CTRL + SHIFT + X — hide all the tabs, except the active one.
