Once done that fill:

- The reference site that will be used for configuration (select it from the drop down)
- The default time range for the dashboard. The number and unit will determine the time range of the graphs and events displayed by default. For example, setting it to 3 days means that the information shown will the be one of the last 3 days. If left empty it will take as default 1 day.
- Refresh interval: How often the data shown will be refreshed. Please note this only applies to the graph widgets, as all other widgets always show the last value and are updated live.
