One thing that makes it easy to find where your controls and indicators are on the block diagram is you can double click on them in the front panel and it will switch to the block diagram and highlight the node. Every control or indicator on the front panel has a node on the block diagram. It is really the same object. If you delete a control or indicator from one of them, it will disappear from the other one too. The only thing to watch out for (I'm not sure how much it is used in the dashboard application) is that you can also access those controls and indicator using a Local Variable node (see the data communication palette) or a property node to change or access the value of them.
Just play with it... if you mess something up, you can click on the run arrow (that will now be a gray broken arrow) and it will tell you where the error is. If you double click on the error, it will highlight the error for you.
Good luck!
