What does a Dashboard contain?

A dashboard in the context of Pega UI is specifically designed to provide a comprehensive view of various metrics and key performance indicators at a glance. It typically contains widgets that can display data visually or contextually, such as graphs, charts, lists, or other components that are grouped into slots. This layout enables users to interact with the information dynamically, facilitating better decision-making and quick access to vital data.

The grouping of widgets into slots allows for a customizable and organized presentation of data, which is essential for effective monitoring and management. Unlike a simple layout with text fields or dropdown menus, the dashboard is interactive and visually rich, designed to present data in an easily digestible format.

While reports and navigation elements may play a role in Pega applications, they do not encapsulate the purpose and function of a dashboard, which is primarily to aggregate and represent data in a user-friendly manner.
