Highly customizable block

The Dash block is a highly flexible tool for customizing the presentation of content across your Moodle site. It can be placed in any available block region and supports both dynamic and static content:

Dynamic content – using database queries and layout templates to present live data
Static content – for manually curated content like text, images, or links

You can adjust layout, styling, headers, and even define fallback content (empty states) to ensure a consistent user experience.

Tip: The Boost Union theme provides extended block regions and works particularly well with Dash for advanced customization.
