Click here to find out everything about the Status.
And here's how you set which object fields are displayed on the dashboard:
In the Settings menu, click on Object Fields.
Find the desired object field in the list and open the editing view via the pencil icon.
In the general field settings you will now see the property Pie chart on dashboard. Move the switch to the right so that this property is enabled. If you want to turn off the display of this pie chart, move the switch to the left.
Note:
Pie charts are only available for the ‘Dropdown’ field type.
The setting for displaying pie charts on the dashboard applies to all users of an instance, not just your own dashboard!
To configure the display of pie charts, you need the Field Configuration – Objects user right. This can be assigned by the admin in the user rights settings.
