Creating a dashboard
Dashboards provide a versatile way for users to engage with AI-driven insights, covering areas such as production optimization, quality management, and downtime reduction. As mentioned in the Control Panel introductory section , the platform supports various dashboard types for monitoring and visualization, including native options, third-party Grafana integrations, and embedded iFrame, offering flexibility in how data is presented and utilized.
Dashboard creation
To create a new dashboard we will click on the +, or click add on the overview section. We will start by the Dashboard
option:
A new window will prompt to request necessary information for the dashboard creation:
- Name: The title that will be displayed on the dashboard tab header.
- Template: Optional field if the dashboard needs to be attached with a replicable solution.
- Label: Business category to place the dashboard at correct position on left bar.
- Global: The dashboard is made global by default, unchecking the box makes it personal.
Once saved, the application redirects to the newly created dashboard, which will be empty by default until some modifications are made.

The active edit mode can be recognized with 2 items:
