Frontend Dashboard

Frontend Dashboard replicates the styling of the concrete5 Dashboard pages. Whilst Frontend Dashboard could be used as a full site theme, the primary purpose of Frontend Dashboard is as a supplementary theme.

Use Frontend Dashboard to style pages of information for site editors and administrators. Anything from management information to a built in user guide can be better expressed when visually associated with the dashboard rather than the primary theme of your site.

Some ideas for using Frontend Dashboard:

• Create an in-site user guide for your site editors and adminsitrators
• Add project management information such as calendars
• Add conversation blocks or a forum addon as an administrators and editors discussion area
• Add a chat block addon as an administrators and editors chat area
• Let editors and administrators add or extend frontend dashboard pages to document and share what they have been doing
• Create forms for editors and administrators to submit. For example, weekly reports, timesheets.
• Have a site editors and administrators blog
• A team-building resource for your site editors and administrators

For most sites, you will want to use permissions to ensure only site editors and administrators can view frontend dashboard pages.
