# Overview

The dashboard can be highly customized using the `options` parameter in the yaml configuration of your dashboard.

   ```yaml
   strategy:
     type: custom:mushroom-strategy
     options:
       # Custom Configuration
   ```

By default,

- All views and domains are enabled.
- All chips are enabled and count the number of "active" entities.
- For the weather chip, the entity is selected automatically unless you specify one.
- All entities without an area are added to the `undisclosed` area.
- All configuration- and diagnostic entities are hidden.

The options are divided into groups as described below.
