Using the Dashboard

Dashboards can be accesed through menu Analytics, where you select desired dashboard or by clicking on button Dashboards.  Both was will show you dashboards that are currently in your database.

Data prefetching

Dashboards do not awalys refreshed themselves when you open them. Reason for this is large selection of data that they have to process. Therefore you have to prefetch your data before opening your dashboard. In some cases software will warn you about this with IRIS message (if you open out.of.the.box dashboard for the first time) or you can do this manually. Either way you have to prefetch data in administration panel.

1. Set one dashboard as default for all users.
