About the Dashboards app

Note

The Dashboards app is now available as an Early Adopter (EA) release with full support. This means that you can expect frequent releases as new features are introduced as well as provide feedback as a customer during feature development.

Easily and quickly create and share customizable dashboards either for an application or an area-of-interest. Ideal for dynamically changing environments, these dashboards provide a single view of both current and historical data. With custom views, these dashboards automatically update to reflect new entities within the same functional area.
