Notes and business rules

  • Widgets with a greyed-out checkbox are system defaults and cannot be edited.
  • Users with the Read/Report permission level will not appear in the Users list as their widgets are pre-set and are not configurable.
  • Users with Staff permission levels cannot see the Risk, Quality or Safety dashboards nor the associated widgets.
