Dashboard Examples 

Introduction

ManagementStudio's Dashboards provide an interactive way to view key project information and trends. Dashboards may display metrics such as application rationalization progress by department, the number of users migrated, or devices that failed hardware compatibility checks. They are customizable and shareable, with many widgets allowing for deeper exploration of data.

Overview

To access dashboard options, select the Dashboards menu entry on the left. This reveals three sub-menus:

• Dashboard: Displays the primary dashboard and panels created by the currently logged-in user.
• Public Dashboards: Allows users to select dashboards shared by other users in the project.
• Dashboard Designer: Used to create a new dashboard and optionally share it with other project users.

Default dashboards are accessible via the Dashboard menu entry. After creating a personal dashboard, this entry will change to My Dashboards, containing links to the user's dashboards.

Dashboard / My Dashboard

The dashboard comprises six key areas:

1. Panel tabs that contain different dashboard views.
2. Main chart area made up of individual charts.
3. Charts representing data from specific modules (e.g., application process history).
4. Toggle to display the chart legend.
5. Selecting an item in the legend filters the results for further reporting.
6. Launch a Data Mining Report based on items selected in (5).

Public Dashboards

Dashboards can be shared with other ManagementStudio users by selecting the Public to All option when saving or updating a dashboard.
 

This dashboard will then appear under the Public Dashboards menu for other users. 

The creator can access the dashboard through the My Dashboards menu option.

Dashboard Designer

The Dashboard Designer allows ManagementStudio users to create or maintain personal dashboards and share them with other project users. Key activities in the Designer include:

• Creating new or duplicating personal dashboards.
• Editing, renaming, or deleting existing dashboards.
• Changing or filtering dashboard data sources.
• Setting the default dashboard for the current user.
• Sharing dashboards with other project users.
