# 1 Dashboard widgets
#### Overview
This section lists available
[dashboard](/manual/web_interface/frontend_sections/monitoring/dashboard)
widgets and provides details for widget configuration.
The following parameters are common for every single widget:
| | |
|---|---|
|*Name*|Enter a widget name.|
|*Refresh interval*|Configure default refresh interval. Default refresh intervals for widgets range from *No refresh* to *15 minutes* depending on the type of widget. For No refresh// for URL widget, *1 minute* for action log widget, *15 minutes* for clock widget. Supported since 3.4.4.|
Refresh intervals for a widget can be set to a default value for all the
corresponding users and also each user can set his own refresh interval
value:
- To set a default value for all the corresponding users switch to
editing mode (Click "*Edit dashboard*" button, find the right
widget, click "*Edit*" button, *Edit widget* form is now opened) and
choose the required refresh interval from the drop- down list.
- Setting a unique refresh interval for each user separately is
possible in view mode by clicking the
button for a certain widget.
Unique refresh interval set by a user has a priority over widget's
setting and once it's set it's always preserved when widget's setting is
modified.
