Learning about dashboards

The WhatsUp Gold Home dashboard is the first screen you see after logging in to the web interface. This is your personal, customizable Home portal, or dashboard.

Dashboards in WhatsUp Gold are user-specific, and are configurable to include dashboard reports specific to users' needs. Dashboards contain multiple views, displayed as tabs, that let you organize groupings of dashboard reports according to the type of information they display. You can click on different view tabs within a dashboard to display different views within the same dashboard. For more information, see Managing dashboard views

When you begin customizing your dashboard views, consider the types of information you need to view most often, the devices to which you need to pay closest attention, and the level of detail you want to monitor through a particular dashboard view. For more information, Adding dashboard reports to a dashboard view.

Changes that you make to a dashboard view affect only your user account. If you decide to completely change all of the dashboard views under your account, your user account is the only account affected by these changes.
