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.

Set your dashboard as default dashboard

 Dashboards enable you to set them as default on opening. This enables you to review dashboard with desired data immediately on opening your PANTHEON. You can do this with out-of-the-box dashboards or custom dashboards. In this section you have two options:

1. Set one dashboard as default for all users.

Open desired dashboard and click button edit.  On editable window select checkbox default  and save dashboard. This dashboard will now open each time you start PANTHEON.

2. Set default dashboard for each user.

Open Administration panel|ZEUS|Dashboard|General. Under default dashboards you will see a list of users that are added to this database and you can set them default database in column Default dashboards. Now each user will have its own default dashboard.
