Configure the default dashboard
As a Jira admin, you can change the gadgets and the layout of this default dashboard to show the most important information for your team. Note that the default dashboard cannot be deleted.
Choose who can view the default dashboard
Admins can share default dashboards with their organisations or the public, but not with specific groups, projects, or people. Use this to turn off anonymous access to your default dashboard.
To choose who can view the default dashboard:
Select > System.
In the User interface section, select Default dashboard.
Select ··· > Share dashboard.
Select the dropdown under Viewers.
Choose one of the following:
My organization. Only people who sign in from your organisation will be able to view the dashboard. Anonymous users won’t be able to access it.
Public. Anyone on the internet will be able to view your default dashboard. Anonymous users will be able to access it.
Select Save.

Add a gadget to the default dashboard

In the User interface section, select Default dashboard.
Select Add Gadget. To view all available gadgets, select Load all gadgets.

Select Add gadget for the gadget you want to add.
If you add a gadget that not all users have permission to, they simply won't see that gadget on the default dashboard. For example, the Administration gadget will not be visible to non-admin users.

To set up and view a wallboard slideshow, you need to set up multiple dashboards first. This means you'll need to create custom dashboards and then view them as a wallboard slideshow.
