Dashboard

Dashboard

The Dashboard renders Docker and VM folders as cards using the same saved folder maps as their runtime pages. Dashboard settings affect presentation only; they do not create a separate hierarchy.

Layout choices

• Classic: normal folder-card presentation.
• Legacy: compatibility-oriented presentation.
• Full Width: uses wider available widget space.
• Accordion: emphasizes one expanded section at a time.
• Inset: visually nests folder content.
• Compact Matrix: denser multi-card layout.
• Embossed: alternative card styling.

Choose layouts independently for Docker and VM widgets. Expansion state is remembered across normal refreshes and tab changes where supported.

Folder-card controls

Dashboard preferences can show an expand toggle, dim collapsed cards, show folder labels, and control previews. Docker can use native or advanced preview context, click or hover trigger, a selected graph, and a configurable graph time window.

The quick-action rail can provide layout cycling, expand/collapse all, running-only filtering, health emphasis, compact density, reset view, and a Settings shortcut. Available controls depend on the widget and current state.

Open the widget's View options and choose Capture layout diagnostics while a clipping, overflow, or missing-card problem is visible. The capture records bounded aggregate geometry and state for the current widget/viewport; it does not store folder names, IDs, URLs, selectors, CSS, or raw DOM.

Nested folders and previews

Top-level cards can expose nested trays and configured child previews. If direct members vanish while children remain, compare the Docker/VM runtime page and the folder editor's Members versus Preview selections.

Privacy

Dashboard cards honor the saved Docker/VM privacy masks. Re-check the page after changing Privacy because already-open advanced previews may need to close and reopen before every derived label is rebuilt.

Performance

Large dashboards benefit from Adaptive or Maximum performance, lazy preview, compact layouts, and a reasonable live-refresh interval. Reducing animation or preview depth is preferable to hiding valid data through custom CSS.

Troubleshooting

• Clipped cards/names: return browser zoom to 100%, try Classic, and disable custom CSS.
• Overlap: reset view and compare at desktop and mobile widths.
• Missing folders: verify the source Docker/VM folder is top-level and not hidden by filters.
• Repeated refresh: increase live-refresh interval and check browser console for observer errors.
• Preview graph unavailable: confirm the host exposes required runtime statistics; the Dashboard should fall back without breaking the card.

For a layout defect, reproduce it on the same device/browser, capture layout diagnostics before navigating away, then open Settings Diagnostics and confirm the capture timestamp before exporting a sanitized bundle.
