Custom View — Dashboard and Analytics
Dashboard overview
The dashboard gives you the ability to build and view multiple charts.
You can pin additional dashboards to your home dashboard for easy access.
All charts on a dashboard display data from the same date range, specified by the Date Range Selector. You can select and update the date range similar to the Unit Monitoring page.
Data for the charts can be from multiple accounts.
Charts on your dashboard are movable and resizable, giving you the ability to customize how the dashboard is configured.

Dashboard body
A data dashboard body contains two types of tiles, a Date Range Selector and charts.
- Access - To access a saved dashboard, click on to display a drop-down of available dashboards. Then select the desired dashboard. Note, if the page does not seem to respond to you request, please clear your cache.
- Date Range Selector — Allows you to specify an amount of time back from today, a specific start and end date, or a saved range.
The date range defines the X-axis of your scatter plots. - Charts — Allows you to display data, individually or grouped together. You can build three types of charts:
- Scatter plot
- Line graph
- Bar Chart
See Building Charts for the details on building each type of chart (admin only).
Home dashboard
In addition to the charts any data dashboard contains, your home dashboard can also display tiles for any dashboards you have pinned.
Once you add a chart to your home dashboard, a Date Range Selector is also added automatically.
Chart details
The legend for each chart identifies the data elements displayed. The account is named in the lower right.
If the date range selected has no data to display, the chart presents that fact in both the graph and in the legend.
If you do not have access to the account, you will see the chart tile, but not the actual data.
To quickly get started building a charts, see Building charts.
