			=== The PwsFWI button ===
			PwsFWI is an identifying feature of CumulusUtils displaying a pretty accurate Forest Fire Risk Assessment Index for Personal Weather Stations and therefore can't be removed from Cutils. Default the pwsFWI button is displayed in the header but it can be configured to be in the menu bar (the navbar). For how to configure read the [[Website_Generator#Inifile_parameters\|website page]]

	So when panel-2 is clicked (the default content would be pressure) you get this chart. But this also is valid for panel 4 (clocks), 15 (Pressure gauge) and 20 (Cloudbase gauge). So combining the panel configuration of the dashboard with the event configuration of the ChartsCompiler gives the user almost full control of how the website functions.

			=== The Gauges ===
			The gauges can be configured for appearance as described on the [[Website_Generator#Inifile_parameters\|Website page]]. You may find examples [https://www.wilmslowastro.com/steelseries/demoRadial.html here] and [http://www.boock.ch/meteo/gauges_stelserie_demoradial.php here]. Please study the [[SteelSeries FAQ\|Steelseries FAQ]] for the values of the parameters.

The Dashboard is configurable in two ways: the contents of a panel and - only if you use the [[ChartsCompiler]] - the click event attached to a panel.
	Because click events are not configurable in the default configuration, it is advised NOT to change the panel content when not using CDL (but you're free to experiment).		Because click events are not configurable in the default configuration, it is advised NOT to change the panel content when not using CDL (but you're free to experiment).

			The part of the CumulusUtils interface to the right of the Dashboard is the part where the Charts and reports are shown. In the terminology of the CUtils that is the '''''ReportView'''''.

	=== The Wind Gauges ===		=== The Wind Gauges ===
	As you see, there are two sets of wind gauges. The reason for this is that it is not possible to create a second gauge object (for any gauge). Therefore, the existing object is moved between the first and the second dashboard during a toggle because we need the wind gauges in both dashboards. For the first dashboard you use the denominator 1 (e.g. WindGauge1) and for the second dashboard you use denominator 2 (e.g. WindGauge2). Mixing and moving these out of the dashboard will give unpredictable results.		As you see, there are two sets of wind gauges.
