Avaza Account Dashboard is a flexible widget-based design, with a gallery of widgets you can add, remove, resize and rearrange to suit your role and personal workflow.
We have started with a few important widgets but over time we intend to expand the gallery to include widgets useful to every user role and area of functionality in Avaza.
All the widgets can be renamed and multiple instances of the same widget can be added to the page. Some of the widgets can be customized via their own settings area, allowing you to group and filter data.
The Account Dashboard is your one-stop shop for all important information. Please feel free to email us at support@avaza.com requesting new widgets that will help you stay on top of your data.
