The configuration may also be saved or changes discarded here.
Below this, individual warning tiles may be turned on or off.
In the large Dashboard dashboard area, the currently enabled widgets can be moved by dragging them, resized by dragging the resize handle on the bottom right , or deleted by using the delete button on the top right.
