What can I do with my dashlets?

As well as giving you an overview of activity and information on SkyVault, the dashlets also give you links to various areas of SkyVault and let you carry out a range of actions.
Tip: When a user name, site name, or item appears as a link, you can click it to navigate to the related page.
