Dashboard
=========

The dashboard is the main landing page. By default the dashboard lists the different admin areas available.
The admin list is a block defined by the ``sonata.admin.block.admin_list`` service. More block can be added, just
follow the instruction in the `BlockBundle documentation <http://sonata-project.org/bundles/block/master/doc/index.html>`_.

If you want to customize the dashboard, add the following code to your
application's config file:

.. code-block:: yaml

    # app/config/config.yml
    sonata_admin:
        blocks:
            # display a dashboard block
            - { position: left, type: sonata.admin.block.admin_list }

        dashboard
            groups:
                ... your config ...
