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.

A number of Dashboard groups created by our specialists to implement selected troubleshooting scenarios have been built into the System. These Dashboard groups are available to the user right after the System installation.

Dashboards and Dashboards groups, both built-in and user-created, are available for use in the [Dashboard] menu.
