Administrators can manage the dashboards they share with users in their region by editing, configuring, and/or deleting the dashboards. Editing a dashboard allows you to adjust the name, general appearance, and access. Configuring a dashboard, on the other hand, involves selecting, defining, and placing gadgets on the dashboard. Deleting a dashboard permanently removes it from the system.
