  • Icon: Allows the selection of a custom icon for the tile. The icon is displayed in addition to the label and supports quick visual orientation within the dashboard.

  • Type: Defines the type of tile and determines which information is displayed on the tile. Depending on the selected type, different configuration options are available.

Possible type values:

  • Standard: Displays a tile with a label, icon, and optionally the number of found records.

  • KPI: Displays a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) to clearly represent important values or performance indicators in the dashboard.

  • Unread (Deprecated): Deprecated tile type for displaying unread entries. This type is no longer recommended and should not be used for new tiles.

Display in the Dashboard

The tile is displayed directly in the dashboard and presents the configured information in a compact and clear form. Users can select the tile to switch to the corresponding record view and access further information.
