Tips:

• Using the Storage Systems filter on other screens does not impact the information that is shown in the Dashboard. For example, selecting storage systems on the Virtual Volumes screen does not impact the storage systems that are reported on the Dashboard screen.

• When you delete a standard or optional panel, the panel is removed from the Dashboard but you can add the panel back later. Deleting a user-created panel permanently deletes the panel from the Dashboard. User-created panels cannot be added back without recreating them.
