Dashboards

A Dashboard is a visual representation of data designed for quick analysis of the network traffic data and informational awareness.

Dashboards consist of Widgets – an object with graphical representations of specific data, which can be added, edited, positioned, deleted, or modified as you like. Sycope allows users to set up multiple Dashboards.

Dashboards can be combined into groups depending on the user's needs, and a single one can belong to multiple groups.

Dashboards are created and edited in the menu (Dashboard>Management>Dashboard).

When you enter this menu, you will see a table with default and/or previously created user Dashboards.
