When you add a dashboard object to your dashboard, or edit an existing one, you can customize which type of data the object reflects and how the data is represented.
Dashboard object data is managed using the drop-down menus available in the Section Settings section. The entries and selections in these menus configure the dashboard object selected in the Section Positioning grid. A dashboard object is yellow when selected.
