Dashboard customization

Get Help
1

I am playing with the dashboard widgets, hoping to highlight the apps icons first, and other things like the quota warnings, messages and XDMoD below. Though as far as I got is this:

ood_dashboard
ood_dashboard835×1074 130 KB

Things that I can’t figure out are:

  • customize the position of the quota warning, e.g. move it below the app icons
  • change the number of columns for the apps. I am trying the “pinned_apps_menu_length” but it does not seem to have an effect (Firefox and Chrome)
  • have different horizontal sections of the dashboard with different column layout, e.g. have the XDMoD in a 2 column layout rather than 1 column now.

I appreciate any comments in this regard.

Thanks,
MC

The first 2 aren’t available. (pinned_apps_menu_length modifies the dropdown menu) in the navbar.

The third, I think you want something like:

dashboard_layout:
  rows:
    - columns:
        - width: 12
          widgets: ['pinned_apps']
    - columns:
        - width: 12
          widgets: ['motd']
    - columns:
        - width: 6
          widgets: ['xdmod_widget_job_efficiency']
        - width: 6
          - widgets: ['xdmod_widget_jobs']

Ah, good, that’s looking better now with the XDMoD 2 column layout.

Can I make a feature request to be able to move the quota warnings as well?

Thanks,
