Edit Mode

Conductor Management Console pages are comprised of widgets. Widgets are dynamic data units that show up to date information. They are grouped in containers. There are two types of containers: regular widget containers, which are sets of freely arranged widgets, and tab containers, which allow grouping widgets into switchable tabs.

You can select which widgets you want to see on each page, and configure the widgets. Default pages provide views of the most commonly required data. You can delete these pages or add your own.

Edit Mode enables you to create new dashboard pages, add or remove widgets and manage how widgets are displayed on a page.

Entering Edit Mode

Click the dropdown arrow next to admin and select Edit Mode.

Once in edit mode, a number of edit buttons appear on the screen:

• Add/Insert Widgets Container
