The dashboard has lots of functionality and is shipped as source code. We've discussed making a simple dashboard template, but have thus far decided to keep the default one open and modifiable. Feedback about how this could be better documented or implemented is welcome.

I'll say the dashboard template is a large bit of code that is difficult to understand and handle. The large use of hidden front panel items makes it difficult to use. I'd prefer if it used more global variables than hidden front panel items.

A simple dashboard would be great to have. Might consider using popup VIs rather than the tab control to contain functionality such as the checklist, commands, and variable front panels to their respective code. Trying to work around all of this code was very difficult. I would love to keep the auto-resizing in there, but it caused too much grief, so I removed that.
