This section introduces the basics of dashboards and describes how Creo TOOLKIT offers the capability to create and control dashboards. Creo TOOLKIT applications can construct dashboards for any tool where they would typically require a dialog box.

The behavior of the Creo TOOLKIT dashboard is similar to the dashboard. The TOOLKIT dashboards use the same commands and dismiss mechanism as the native dashboard. However, individual commands may have different accessibility logic and so different dashboards can have slightly different commands available.
