Dashboards

The Dashboards section in AskSenseOps lets you access, view, and manage saved dashboards. You can organize dashboards using tags, mark favourites, share dashboards with other users, schedule email deliveries, and customize dashboard themes.

Accessing Dashboards

The dashboard list provides the following views:

  • All: View dashboards available in the list.
  • Mine: View dashboards you own.
  • Shared: View dashboards shared with you.
  • Starred: View dashboards marked as favourites.

Use the search option to find a dashboard by name. Dashboards may also be grouped by tags, with the refresh time displayed for each dashboard.

Opening a Dashboard

  • Charts and other visualizations.
  • Filters for exploring data.
  • Tabs for navigating between different dashboard views.

The available content depends on the selected dashboard.

Filters may apply across multiple tabs, depending on the dashboard configuration.

Select a tab to view its corresponding charts, metrics, and other content.

Viewing Refresh Information

The dashboard header displays the available refresh information, including the latest refresh status or time.

Managing Dashboards

Open the options menu next to a dashboard in the list to access its management actions.

To remove a dashboard from favourites, select Unstar from its options menu.

Creating a Scheduled Delivery

The Email & schedule panel lets you configure recurring dashboard deliveries.

Select New delivery under Repeats automatically to create a saved delivery configuration. A delivery stores the recipients and sends the dashboard when the configured reload or schedule conditions are met.

Configuring Auto-refresh

Enable Auto-refresh on app reload if you want dashboard numbers to update after the source app reloads.

When enabled, numbers update within approximately five minutes of the source app reloading. Otherwise, the dashboard updates when you manually select Refresh.

Use Sent history to review previous email deliveries.

Refresh

Use the refresh control to refresh the dashboard and access the latest available data.

Bookmark

  • Alerts and highlights: Important trends or changes that may require attention.
  • Key insights: A list of findings grouped by category, with indicators such as Strength, Watch, and Context.
