The Divider Widget enhances the visual organization of your dashboard by adding a horizontal line to separate sections of content. This simple yet effective tool helps create a more structured and readable layout, guiding users through different areas of the page.

Customization Options:

  • Line Color: Choose a color for the divider line to match your dashboard's overall design and branding.

  • Caption: Optionally, add a text caption that displays at the center of the divider. This caption provides context or labels different sections, further enhancing the clarity of your dashboard's content.

The Divider Widget is perfect for breaking up content into manageable segments, adding a touch of professionalism and structure to any dashboard.
