Dashboards & Widgets

The Fleetbase Console home screen is a fully customizable dashboard. Drag, resize, and arrange widgets to surface the metrics and views most relevant to your work. Extensions register their own widget types, and each user can create and manage multiple dashboards.

The Dashboard Grid

The dashboard uses GridStack for layout. Widgets sit on a fluid grid and can be freely repositioned and resized by dragging.

In edit mode a trash icon appears on each widget allowing you to remove it. Drag any widget to reposition it. Drag the widget's edge or corner to resize it. Position and size changes are saved automatically.

Switching Dashboards

If you have created multiple dashboards a dashboard selector appears at the top of the dashboard area. Click any name to switch to that dashboard.

To revert to the instance-wide shared layout, select Default Dashboard — this resets your active dashboard pointer to the system default.

Creating a Dashboard

Click New dashboard, enter a name, and confirm. The new dashboard becomes active immediately. Dashboards are per-user — other members of your organization manage their own independently.

Deleting a Dashboard

Open the dashboard you want to remove and click Delete. This removes the dashboard record and all its widget placements. The Default Dashboard cannot be deleted.

Adding Widgets

Click Add widget to open the Widget Panel. On a newly created empty dashboard the panel opens automatically.

The Widget Panel is a right-side overlay listing every widget type registered by installed extensions. Use the search field to filter by keyword. Click any widget card to add it to the current dashboard at a default position.

Widgets are provided by extensions. Installing a new extension makes its widget types available in the panel immediately.

Extension Dashboards

Each extension hosts its own dashboard context independently of the home dashboard. For example, the FleetOps extension has its own widget registry and dashboard area separate from the core console home. Navigate into an extension to find its own dashboard or overview panel.

The home dashboard runs under extension context core.

Registering Widgets (Developers)

Extensions register widget types at startup via the Universe service. Each widget definition supplies a component path, name, description, and icon. Registered widgets appear in the Widget Panel for all users on the instance.

See Extending Fleetbase for details on building and registering custom widgets.
