telephone:InetSoft Product Information: Dashboard Software - Administrator Dashboard
InetSoft's comprehensive real-time analytical reporting and dashboard software provides an adminstrator dashboard so that features and information can be alloted from the top down for maximum security. View the example below to learn more about the Style Intelligence solution.
To modify a global (administrator-defined) dashboard, follow the steps below:
1. Under the main Dashboard tab, select the dashboard that you want to modify.
2. Click the 'Edit Dashboard' link at the bottom-right corner.
This creates a copy of the global dashboard that you can edit. For a Portlet Dashboard, the 'Edit Dashboard' link opens the 'Edit Dashboard' page. For a Viewsheet Dashboard, the 'Edit Dashboard' link opens the 'Edit Dashboard' dialog box.
When you copy a global (predefined) dashboard, this creates a new user-level dashboard which replaces the global dashboard in your dashboard collection. Any subsequent changes that an administrator makes to the original global dashboard will not be reflected in your copy.

Managing Dashboards
You can manage your dashboards from the 'Preferences' dialog box. To enable and disable dashboards, or to change the order of the dashboard tabs, follow these steps:
1. Click the 'Preferences' link at the top of the Portal. This opens the 'Preferences' dialog box.
2. In the 'Dashboard' table, click a checkbox in the 'Enable' column to make the corresponding dashboard visible in the Dashboard tab.
3. Click the up-arrow and down-arrow buttons in the 'Arrange' column to change the order of the various dashboard tabs in the Portal.
4. (Optional) Select 'Load all dashboards on initialization' to force all enabled dashboards to reload when any dashboard is accessed. This is only needed when you have multiple dashboards that share a filter.
Create a Portlet Dashboard
To create your own portlet for a dashboard, follow these steps:
1. Create the report or viewsheet you wish to use as a portlet. (See the links below for more information.)
2. When you save a report, choose the 'Save as Portlet' option.
Once the new report portlet or viewsheet is saved, you will be able to add it to your portlet dashboard as described above.

InetSoft Viewpoint |
"All of these projects have multiple workflows, multiple modeling tools, teams, applications, process improvement turns into its own chaos that you have built on top of the application. Database chaos you’ve already had. And so what we like to term this is business intelligence gone wild. And what a BPM suite can do in conjunction with a BI suite, or with the analytics that are included in the suite, it depends on the suite, you want that information. Business intelligence helps to fill some of that information gap for people. The existing applications don’t have the ability to respond to people-driven process issues. And folks were trying to do these unnatural things with their existing systems. And many times some of our larger customers that are deploying hundreds of processes with thousands of users worldwide, they found that the solution wasn’t going to work for them. They were trying to retrofit something that was meant for something else. With our suite, or similar BPM suites, you can get the data in a simplistic form from the actual process, maybe if it’s at a departmental level, but if you already have a business intelligence suite in place, you’re already gathering those valuable key metrics, and you already have BI dashboards set up." - Luke Liang, CEO, InetSoft |
