Adding a new My Dashboard

The ADD DASHBOARD pop up window appears when you click on the icon in the editing view of My Dashboard. A new dashboard can be created using this window by providing the following credentials:

• Provide a name for the new dashboard in the Dashboard Name text box.
• You can optionally provide a brief description of the dashboard that is to be created in the Description text box.
• Specify how frequently the dashboard needs to be refreshed automatically in the Refresh Frequency (secs) text box. By default, the dashboard refreshes automatically once in every 60 secs.
• By default, the Components option is chosen from the View by list which implies that the dashboard is created for all the components managed in the target environment. To create a new dashboard that pertains only to the components associated with a zone, pick the Zones option from the View by list. Likewise, if you want to create a new dashboard that pertains to the components associated with a service or segment, pick the Services or Segments options respectively.
• Then, by selecting an option from the Sharing list, indicate how you want to share the dashboard with other users to the eG Enterprise system. By default, the Private option is chosen from this list. This indicates that the user building the dashboard is alone authorized to view/modify/delete the dashboard. Selecting the Public option allows all users to the eG Enterprise system to view (not modify/delete) the dashboard that is being created. To share the dashboard with specific users to the eG Enterprise system, select the Share option from the Sharing list. Then, from the Available Users list that then appears, select the users with whom you want to share the dashboard, and click the > button. This will transfer the selection to the Selected Users list. To revoke the share, select one/more users from the Selected Users list and click the < button. You can also provide read/write access to the users with whom you have shared the dashboard by checking the Allow R/W sharing checkbox. The Available users for R/W sharing list will then be populated with the users with whom you have shared the dashboard. Select the users to whom you wish to provide the read/write access from this list.
  Note:
  The users who are granted read/write access cannot delete the dashboard or access the MODIFY DASHBOARD pop up window.
• Finally, clicking the Create button will add the new dashboard.
