Setting Options
Navigate to the Settings page to view the following options:
- General Settings
- Adoption Explorer
General Settings
In the General Settings tab, admins can configure the following settings:
- Enable lazy loading of widgets: Turn on the switch to enable the lazy loading of the widgets on Dashboards. This improves the Dashboard page’s initial load time, by making sure only the widgets visible on the Dashboard page are loaded. The number of widgets you see on the screen depends on your screen resolution.
For example: Assume you have a Dashboard that contains 10 widgets, and that you have enabled the lazy loading option. Based on your screen resolution, only two widgets are visible. Initially, only those widgets are loaded When you scroll down, another two widgets are loaded, and so on. - Timeout Period: Assign a Timeout period for loading widgets. The Timeout Period limits the time that the Dashboard allocates for the widget to load. This is helpful when widgets with large data are slow to load, affecting the overall load time of the Dashboard.
Note: The minimum Timeout period that can be set is 10 seconds. The maximum Timeout period is 120 seconds.
