The current impacts shows how many impacts are currently present (and related to the current user). If the worst impact is critical it displays on red background, if warning than on orange background, else on green background if no impacts are present.

The page layout is made of a three-columns grid that displays some widgets. Widgets may be chosen by the logged in user. The chosen widgets and their configuration is part of the user's preferences and will be stored if a storage module is configured.
