Dashboard

The Dashboard main menu allows users to customize what system information they want to monitor, such as virus activity and system resources, which are displayed as widgets. Within this menu, users can also add tabs, which are referred to as pages. These pages contain widgets which you can customize.

The information provided by the widgets allows users to quickly assess what is occurring on their networks and on the devices. For example, your Virus Report widget may report that a specific virus has been detected several times. When you select the virus name in the widget, you are redirected to the FortiGuard Center’s Virus Encyclopedia page for that virus, which provides additional information about it.
