AMI dashboard builder has two modes. When the Layout Editor is turned on, you have access to tools and functionality for editing the dashboard.

Note: if you do not see the Layout Editor Button, your user account is not entitled for building layouts.

  • There will be a new Dashboard menu item for accessing tools
  • All existing panels will have a green button for accessing that panel's settings
