You can add as many dashlets to a custom or duplicate dashboard as you want. Dashlets contain the information being displayed in the dashboard. There are many types of dashlet, and each displays customizable data in a specific way. This variety adds to the flexibility of ENA dashboarding.

Please see the Dashlets section for further help and information on each dashlet available.
