Dashboard
The Dashboard page provides a brief overview of network status performance in the form of data and a graphical representation.
On the Navigation bar, click Dashboard. The Dashboard page is displayed. The Dashboard page provides a summary of the network health, incident occurrences across the system, network history, solutions to reduce co-channel interference, solutions to enhance network performance, and key service-level agreement (SLA) metrics. The dashboard is a starting point for network administrators seeking specific workflows and issues that may require attention.

Scrolling Data Tile
The Scrolling Data tile provides a scrolling summary of key usage metrics and displays five layers of data specific to the selected network (in the Network Hierarchy filter) for the selected time period (in the Date and Time filter). The scroll mechanism displays a different layer of data every two seconds. Click on the displayed data result to open the relevant layer page. You can also click directly on any of the layers to view that data immediately, instead of waiting for it to cycle around again.
