¶ Introduction
Dashboards can be used for various use cases. The customer environment always contains a default dashboard. The default dashboard shows various information like used credits, open alarms and days without alarms. Create custom dashboards to suit your customer's needs and deploy them using presentation pages. Use cases for the dashboards are:
- Show information to the customer's admin or portal user
- Show information on external digital signage displays
- Start various scenarios using a touch screen device like a tablet
Dashboards contain tiles. For a reference on the possible tiles, please refer to the dashboard tile wiki.
