Dashboards

Learn about what you may see within Oracle Communications Unified Assurance when you click Dashboards in the main navigation menu.

What is a Dashboard?

A Real-time Dashboard is used to organize unified service assurance data (events, metrics, and topology) as well as third party or integration user interfaces to a completely normalized end-user display. Dashboards allow you create static reporting as well as real-time dynamic unified interfaces (based upon device or service). Dashboards are edited through a web interface that allows you to drag/drop individual interfaces or Panels onto the dashboard configuration.

How do I create a Dashboard?

You use the following interfaces to create dashboards:

• Configuration -> Dashboards -> Dashboards

• Configuration -> Dashboards -> Dashboard Groups

See Dashboard Design in Unified Assurance Implementation Guide for more information about designing and creating dashboards.

Dashboards Navigation Explained

When the Dashboards navigation pane is displayed, you will see the Dashboard Group that has been assigned as your Restrictive Dashboard Group, and any Dashboards that are in the group. You will also see any child Dashboard Groups and any Dashboards in those child groups. For example, using this layout:

• Root (Dashboard Group)

  • Dashboard Group 1

    • Dashboard Group 3

      • Dashboard E

      • Dashboard F

    • Dashboard C

  • Dashboard Group 2

    • Dashboard D

  • Dashboard A

  • Dashboard B

You will see the following in the view:

• If the user group's restrictive dashboard group is set to Root, you will see the entire layout.

• If the user group's restrictive dashboard group is set to Dashboard Group 1, you will see Dashboard C as it is a member of Dashboard Group 1. You will also see Dashboard Group 3, which can be expanded to show Dashboard E and Dashboard F.
