Dashboard ToolBox

The Netgate Nexus Dashboard ToolBox is located on the right side of the dashboard screen and contains several options to manage dashboard items.

This ToolBox can appear in two different ways as determined by the Controller Options.

  • It can be a floating bar pinned to the right side of the screen:

  • It can be collapsed behind a nexus-hamburger hamburger menu button:
