The dashboards.yml file is used to configure dashboards and widgets that are rendered on a dashboard:

src/Acme/Bundle/DemoBundle/Resources/config/dashboards.yml

dashboards:
    widgets:
        # a "my_calendar" widget displaying the user's calendar on the dashboard
        my_calendar:
            label:       oro.calendar.my_calendar_widget_title
            route:       oro_calendar_dashboard_my_calendar
            acl:         oro_calendar_view
            description: oro.calendar.my_calendar_widget_description
            icon:        bundles/orocalendar/img/my_calendar.png

    dashboards:
        # a dashboard named "main" using the given template
        main:
            twig: '@OroDashboard/Index/default.html.twig'

    widgets_configuration:
        # a "title" option for all dashboard widgets
        title:
            type: oro_type_widget_title
            options:
                label: oro.dashboard.title.label

`dashboards`

The dashboards key is used to configure options for dashboards. The key is the name of the dashboard and the options are the values. Currently, there is only one supported option:

`twig`

type: string

`widgets`

The keys are strings that each uniquely identiy a dashboard widget. The value again is a map that holds the configuration of the widget for which the following options can be used:

`acl`

type: string

The given access control list is evaluated to decide whether or not a user is allowed to see the widget.

`configuration`

type: map

You can define an arbitrary set of configuration options the user can use to configure the widget (for example to customize the way it is rendered, its behavior, etc.). Each key of the map represents the name of a configuration option, its values are maps that can use the following keys:

options (type: map)

A map of options and their values configuring the Symfony form type (see the type option below). You can find a complete reference of available options for Symfony’s built-in form types in the Symfony documentation.

show_on_widget (type: boolean)

If this option is set to true, the user can see the currently configured value at the bottom of the widget.

type (type: string)

The Symfony form type name that is used to define what kind of input will be used to ask for user input.

Each option can be configured with the same keys that are available when defining widget options:
