Getting Started with the Dashboard

The Dashboard provides a navigation pane on the left side of the window and access to the data on the right. If your Spector 360 installation is new, there probably is no data available to view. As soon as Spector 360 Recorders are installed and operating, data will begin to fill the Spector 360 Database.

To view data in the Dashboard:  

  1. Select a tool from the Dashboard's lower left navigation pane.  

  1. Select a folder or panel from the upper left navigation pane. Each folder displays a set of items in the right pane, such as charts, forms, or the Management information.

  2. View the data from the right pane.

  3. Quick View charts are displayed directly on the right pane.

  4. For Search, enter a query, select the activities to search in, and review the Search Results in the right pane.

  5. For Data Explorer, User Explorer, and Reports, double-click an item in the right pane. A Criteria dialog box may prompt you to accept or change the database query before displaying the data.

The Dashboard provides numerous ways to customize each view of the data. You can switch from a bar graph to a pie chart, or adjust the background color and margins of a report. You can add or remove data columns to clarify a grid display. Once you have a view of data you like, you can save your custom chart or form in a folder that you create.

As you begin reviewing recorded data, refer to each activity type under "Viewing Recorded Events" in the Table of Contents for this Help in order to understand and interpret the data you are viewing.
