Widgets are the core components for the dashboard. Tabs provide the layout and widgets provide the actual data for the dashboard.
Note
Note
Customizing the dashboard, tabs, or widgets for one user account has no effect on the dashboard, tabs, or widgets for a different user account. Each user account has a completely independent dashboard, tabs, and widgets from every other user account.
In some widgets the total number of messages matching each scanning condition consists of overlaps. For example, if a message matches more than one scanning condition, such as spam and attachment, this message will be counted twice, once in the total number for spam and a second time in the total number for attachment.
