To add/remove/configure widgets click on Manage Widgets at the top. From here you can add/remove widgets. When adding a widget you first need to select the type of widget you wish to add. Beware, some widget types can only be added to the dashboard once.
After choosing the widget type, you may see more settings related to that specific widget type. For example, for a Report widget you will need to choose a Refresh Interval and a Timeframe and obviously which Report Entry the widget should show. You can display any report entry including custom-created report entries. To see more about creating report entries look at the Reports documentation.
