  2. Toolbar (in addition each button can be individually set to show / hide)
  3. Filter Bar (in addition "Active Filters" can also be turned off)
  4. Dashboard / View title

Each configurations option can be set at any level (App / View / Dashboard / Widget) and be inherited to the components and can be overwritten at any level

2.4. Enter "Edit Mode" directly from any Dashboard or View

The new "Edit Mode" allows authorized users to access the Dashboard / View configuration directly from within the page they are looking at.

By selecting edit-mode, new buttons are displayed, which will enable the same configuration pop-ups, as are available from the View Management app.

All changes made in edit mode  are dynamically applied without the need for the user to refresh the page.

3. Wizard / Work-flow component

A new Wizard component allows business process flows to be a broken down to small and simple steps which end users can understand and follow without any training / explanation.

The wizard is built out of Steps (from left to right) and Sub-Steps ((from top to bottom). Each sup-step or step is reached by clicking on "Next" or the navigation pane.

Validation can be added to any sub-step or step such that navigation to the next screen is not possible without all data entry of the preceding step being complete and validated. This allows for a true business process workflow to be built and truly intuitive applications for users to use.

Each Sub-Step of a wizard could be either a Dashboard or View and can potentially be duplicated/copied from anywhere else in the application..

Any format / style  ( image / text color / background color ), can be applied based on a different value / range of values.
