Navigating the Dashboard

The Dashboard allows you to customize how you view prices, charts, tables and news by using the following:

• Workspaces – Blank canvases on which you will add tools to track the prices and markets that are vital to your business. You can save and pin your favorite workspaces or you can use the market page templates already available to you. It is also possible to share workspaces with other Dashboard users.
• Widgets – These are the tools you add to your workspaces to customize the way you view prices and news.
• Search – Search is available across all widgets and within widgets. You can search using predefined modifiers such as Product, Commodity, Source and Location or you can perform simple text searches.
