Customizing the Quick Dashboard

This topic is organized in the following manner:

Adding, Moving, and Removing Entries

A Quick Dashboard entry can represent an object list or an individual object—for example, a list of ACD Queues or an individual ACD Queue. This section describes how to add, move, and remove Quick Dashboard entries.

Administrators can create Quick Dashboard configurations that can be used by multiple supervisors. If your administrator has instructed you to load a predefined Quick Dashboard configuration, see Managing a Quick Dashboard. If you are an administrator, see Quick Dashboards Overview for further information.

You can add up to 150 Quick Dashboard entries.
