33 Dashboard Display

General

The dashboard display is used to view several displays side-by-side. For example, it can be used to view both a precipitation and a temperature grid plot side-by-side, synchronizing the time sliders. All users can create and modify their own dashboards, which will be stored in the user settings. Alternatively, a configurator can configure several "predefined" dashboards which will be the same for all users. An example of a dashboard display is shown below.

User-defined vs. Predefined Dashboard Displays

TODO:

• explain debug menu options to turn user-defined into predefined and vice versa
• mention unavailable options for predefined dashboards (delete, rename etc.)
• explicitly mention all settings normally stored in user-settings are now in dashboards.ini therefore button status etc. will be reset when predefined dashboard is reopened.
