FAQ

Why does edit mode show a warning about the KPI row?

The KPI row needs between 3 and 5 cards. Add or remove cards until the warning goes away, then click Done.

Why can't I delete my template?

You need at least one template, so the only one can't be deleted. Create or duplicate another first.

Can I go back to the original layout?

There is no reset button. Duplicate a template before big changes to keep a copy.
