What is a dotBlast dashboard?

A dotBlast dashboard is a customizable display that shows real-time information on any screen or monitor. Think of it as a digital bulletin board that you design to show exactly what you need to see.

Core concepts

  • Widgets: Individual components that display specific information (clocks, metrics, charts, calendars, etc.)
  • Canvas: The background area where you arrange widgets
  • Layout: How widgets are positioned and sized on the canvas
  • Theme: Colors, fonts, and styling that apply to the entire dashboard

Common use cases

  • Office lobbies: Show company announcements, meeting schedules, and welcome messages
  • Conference rooms: Display room availability, current meetings, and presentation schedules
  • Retail stores: Highlight promotions, inventory levels, and store hours
  • Operations centers: Monitor key performance indicators, system status, and real-time metrics
  • Manufacturing floors: Display production counts, quality metrics, and safety information
