Creating a dashboard

You can create custom dashboards and save them as public tasks or private tasks in Security Desk.

To create a dashboard:

1. In Security Desk, open the Dashboards task.
2. On the Select dashboard screen, click Create.

   

3. Provide a name for your new dashboard and save it as a private task or a public task.
   An empty dashboard is created.
4. Click Add widgets.
   The dashboard canvas opens with the available widgets shown in the Widgets palette.

   

5. Populate the dashboard by dragging and dropping widgets from the palette to the canvas.
   TIP: You can perform a search for the widget you are looking for.

   For each widget, you can do the following:

   • Move the widget into position and resize it as needed.

     

     The widget frame will snap to the grid lines on the canvas. Widgets can overlap. You can place a widget in front of others () or behind ().

   • In the widget-specific options, set what the widget displays.

     

   • In the general options, configure the look and behavior of the widget. These options include the widget title, background color, and whether or not the data refreshes automatically.

     

   Counts, charts, reports, and web pages must be refreshed to show the latest information. Dashboard widgets can be refreshed manually or on an interval. An auto refresh interval can be specified per widget, or once for the entire dashboard in the dashboard Options.

6. After populating your dashboard with widgets, click Done.
