The Dashboard Module for SilverStripe 3
=======================================

[](#the-dashboard-module-for-silverstripe-3)

The Dashboard module provides a splash page for the CMS in SilverStripe 3 with configurable widgets that display relevant information. Panels can be created and extended easily. The goal of the Dashboard module is to provide users with a launchpad for common CMS actions such as creating specific page types or browsing new content.

Creating a Custom Dashboard Panel
---------------------------------

[](#creating-a-custom-dashboard-panel)

Dashboard panels have their own MVC architecture and are easy to create. In this example, we'll create a panel that displays recent orders for an imaginary website. The user will have the option to configure the panel to only show orders that are shipped.

### Creating the model

[](#creating-the-model)

First, create a class for the panel as a descendant of DashboardPanel. We'll include the database fields that define the configurable properties, and create the configuration fields in the getConfiguration() method.

**mysite/code/RecentOrders.php**
