By default the dashboard does not display dashboard content from outside of the application folder. By specifying a trusted content the dashboard is allowed to download and execute content from the pointed URL. The trusted content can be either full URL, or a contain the domain part only. In latter case all content under the domain is trusted.

The dashboard content receives an access to the local system and to the document vault as a current user. Application developer should trust only content that is owned and controlled by the application author.
