Dashboard Configuration

The RayFlow Dashboard consists of XML based tiles, providing access to both dynamically updated key figures and quick links to underlying content. The entire configuration related to the dashboard is stored in the dashboard.xml file, located in the RayFlow installation directory. A user can edit this .xml file in a text editor and add new tiles to the dashboard.
