Dashboards can be used to create a visual representation of collected session data with a combination of charts, grids, gauges and many more controls. A dashboard can be created in minutes and can be displayed anywhere simply by opening the dashboard in a browser.
The following links provide a guide on how to create and use dashboards for your projects.
To start creating a new dashboard, select create dashboard from the dashboards menu.
This screen is where you can set the name of the new dashboard and select the projects and ultradrop resources that will be used in the dashboard. The dashboard can also be assigned to groups to allow sub users to access the dashboard. When you have finished preparing the new dashboard, click the new dashboard button to save the new dashboard.
This section allows you to select the projects and ultradrop resources that will be used in the dashboard. The selected data sources will be available within the Dashboard Designer , allowing you to add points to the dashboard layout or use an ultradrop resource to filter down the sessions that will be displayed in the dashboard. Data sources can be added or removed at any time unless a data source is used in a Join Table using the Query Builder .
