Creating a new dashboard

Creating multiple dashboards allow users to switch between different unique views to segregate monitoring requirements and workflows.

To create/add a new dashboard, follow these steps after selecting Dashboards from the Monitor submenu:

1. Click the New Dashboard button and select the Create tab in the popup.

Hint

Select the Copy tab to create a copy of an existing dashboard to use immediately or modify.

2. Enter a unique name for the dashboard.

3. (Optional) To set the dashboard as the default for the current user, tick the Default Dashboard checkbox.

4. (Optional) To lock the dashboard (cannot be edited), tick the Read Only checkbox.

5. Use the arrow buttons to add gadgets to the new dashboard from the list of those available (gadgets can be added or removed later as needed).

6. When done, click Save to create the new dashboard with the selected gadgets.

Once the dashboard has been created, it will replace the current view and can be accessed from the dashboards dropdown at any time.

Hint

When selecting dashboards from the dropdown, click the Click For Menu button to switch to a tile view showing all available dashboards.
