Dashboard configuration data is used to configure certain aspects of dashboards for this project. The following can be configured:

Templates: Dashboard templates are used to populate newly created dashboards with default title, tabs, pre-configured viewlets, and layout. You can specify different templates for the different types of available dashboards. This makes it easier to get useful information from dashboards quickly.

Viewlet Chooser Entries: You can add new entries to the viewlet chooser in the dashboard which are variations of existing viewlets but with pre-configured settings. These will appear for all users when they click "Add Viewlet" in the dashboard. For example, you can add a news feed viewlet that is pre-configured to show your project's news, so that project members do not need to type in the URL.
