The dashboard’s widgets are simply internal windows.
The widgets are created and programmed like internal
windows. The Dashboard also comes with advanced WLanguage functionalities for managing its configuration: you can plan several different layouts and change the one to use based on the use case. The DashLoadConfiguration WLanguage function lets you load a preconfigured layout. The DashSaveConfiguration WLanguage function lets you store the current configuration. In order for each widget to automatically update, a process has been introduced in the code editor: the Refresh Widget process.

- place the widgets wherever he or she wants
- resize one or more widgets

Tasks are organized in rows and time units in columns. The dependencies between tasks are materialized by arrows
that link related tasks. The Gantt chart control lets you easily create planning programs. A Gantt chart is easily created. It is contained inside a table. Simply specify that the classic or treeview table has a Gantt type column.
