Dashboard Extension: Front End Overview

The front end of our dashboard extension is where the actual interaction takes place. It serves as the primary interface for both those who design dashboards and those who use them. Designed with a focus on usability and adaptability, it allows dashboard designers to tailor the appearance and functionality according to their specific requirements. Through an intuitive form builder, the customization of user entry forms is straightforward, ensuring a seamless experience for all users.
