Dashboard
The Dashboard provides administrators with a summary of the status of the console server and its
managed devices. Custom dashboards can be configured for each user groups.
11.5.1 Configuring the Dashboard
Admin group users can configure and access the dashboard. To configure a custom dashboard:
Select
System > Configure Dashboard
and select the user (or group) you are configuring this custom
dashboard layout for
You can configure a custom dashboard for any admin user or for the admin group or you can reconfigure
the default dashboard.
The
Status > Dashboard
screen is the first screen displayed when admin users (other than root) log into
the console manager. If you log in as John, are in the admin group, and there is a dashboard layout
configured for John, the dashboard for John appears on log-in and when you click on the
Status >
Dashboard
menu item.
If there is no dashboard layout configured for John but there is an admin group dashboard configured, you
see the admin group dashboard. You will see the default dashboard if there is no user dashboard or admin
group dashboard configured.
The root user does not have its own dashboard.
The above configuration options are intended to enable admin users to setup their own custom
dashboards.
