Removed single-model database import

Removed dashboard features

The dashboards can no longer store or execute user defined Java scripts for security vulnerability reasons (to mitigate the XSS vulnerabilities). Consequently, a new third party software DOMPurify strips all XSS properties when rendering the custom HTML of the HTML widget. Therefore, if the HTML contains any tags that are not purely formatting tags (font color, size, images, and so on), then they will be removed automatically before displaying the HTML. In addition, all HTML attributes allowing to enter Javascript (onclick, onload, and so on) are also be removed.
