Manage Dashboards

Default dashboards

The default dashboard tabls of the platform are the Metrics, Hybrid and Optimization tabs. All users can access all tabs of the Default dashboard and the different dashboards created for their user privileges level. If the user does not have the appropriate privileges to display the data in a widget, the widget will display with "No data available".

Dynamic dashboard types

The platform displays four types of dashboards in the following order:

Default
Reseller
Enterprise
User

Within that order, when you create or edit a new dashboard tab, you can set the order within its dashboard type.
