Generally, dynamic means energetic, capable of action and change, while static means stationary or fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To a large extent, website dashboard has a full-featured viewer to view <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/zh.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dashboard\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/zh.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dashboard\" target=\"_blank\">dashboard<\/a>s on the Web.
