The admin dashboard

The dashboard is the location where all the users get redirected, once logged into the admin area. Usually, it contains dynamic widget areas with the most important data of your application. The dashboard can play a major role in web applications, compared to blogging or CMS functionality. The dashboard contains a set of default widgets that are mainly focused on the main WordPress features such as posts, pages, and comments. In web applications, we can remove the existing widgets related to CMS and add application-specific widgets to create a powerful dashboard. WordPress offers a well-defined API to create custom admin dashboard widgets and hence we can create a very powerful dashboard using custom widgets for custom requirements in web applications.
