Configuring the Dashboard
The SmartClient Dashboard Workspace is the user configurable ‘home page’ that loads
when you open SmartClient in your web browser. It is usually composed of a number of
control panels called ‘widgets’ that load different User Workspaces for specific user tasks.

About the Dashboard Workspace
The default Dashboard loads with the Activities Widget by default, provided you are a
member of a user group, which contains the following buttons:
• Browse
• Place Holders
• Shot List
You can also add any number of the following widgets to your Dashboard if you have
Dashboard Authoring rights.
Each of these widgets can then be configured within themselves in order to meet your user
requirements.
Once a dashboard is configured as required, it can be saved to the system so that the same
dashboard is loaded every time you log on to the SmartClient.
Once a dashboard has been loaded by a user, the next time the user logs on to the system,
that dashboard will be loaded by default. If the user changes the dashboard he wishes to
use, then the new dashboard will become the default automatically.
These custom dashboards can also then be made available to other users who require the
same configuration.
Dashboards are made available to user groups by an administrator. The administrator
assigns dashboards to user groups via the SmartClient’s Dashboard Access Management
tool.
Administrating which users are members of which group is done via the iTX Security Tool.
