A user starts by going into the Dashboards module and creating a Dashboard Configuration. This is key configuration information which will help bxp know where to retrieve the information. Each configuration is explained separately. You choose from Archetypes. Each archetype has different options. You can have more than one Archetype aimed at the same form. You can read more about these below.
With the Dashboard Configuration done, a user selects the Panes they want in their DashboardLayout. Choosing the Panes leads to a Dashboard.
With the Panes selected Layout sorted the dashboard can then be the first page you see when you log in. Alternately numerous dashboards can be created and accessed from anywhere in the system.

= Panes =
Panes are designed and developed by the bxp team. There is an extensive amount of Panes prebuilt but if you want a new pane, or pane configuration changes this is done through the bxp Frameworks team.
The contents of the panes are rendered predominantly through FusionCharts engine.
