Anyway we can make this view only for security purposes? We would like to prevent users from sending responses to other users by accident.

There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
