Dashboards

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

Dashboards consist of Widgets – objects with a graphical representation 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 while a single Dashboard 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.

The table contains the following fields:
