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.
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. You should also take into consideration the type of dashboard, and the types of dashboard reports you can add to a particular dashboard type.
The Home dashboard can display both Home- and Device-level dashboard reports. You can place any dashboard report on a Home dashboard. You can mix and match summary, group, and device-specific data in this type of dashboard.
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. For more information, see Managing dashboard views.
Device Status dashboards display only Device-level dashboard reports. Only dashboard reports specific to a single device can be placed on a device dashboard. When you switch to a different device in context, the reports displayed show data for the newly selected device. For more information, see Adding dashboard reports to a dashboard view.
The Top 10 dashboard displays Top 10 reports for your network devices.
