Dashboard management
Increase the productivity of your team by configuring a dashboard that consolidates
and presents relevant data in the most convenient form. For example, you can design a
workspace that includes several reports that help managers oversee work by displaying case
status, sales data, and burn down report widgets. At run time, end users can personalize their dashboard instance to display information
according to their specific preferences and interact with data in the most convenient way. For applications that
you build with the traditional Theme UI-Kit, see Configuring your dashboard. In Theme Cosmos applications, you can use two types of dashboard components: In Cosmos applications, you can create a React-based landing page that
uses the dashboard template. The Cosmos React dashboard component is a
curated experience. Consequently, the application designers specify what users see when they
log in. Personalization at run time is not possible. For more information, see Configuring a dashboard. By default, Pega Platform uses role-based interfaces, which includes a
dashboard tailored to a role. For example, when a user with the Manager role signs in to a
Pega Platform application, the user is presented with a dashboard that
is tailored to include information necessary to manage the users who complete the work. The developer can configure the dashboard, which is available as a custom page in an
application, for a role by publishing changes to the default dashboard. For example, the
manager might see the number of open cases and overdue assignments in order to better manage
the workload of their direct reports. End users can then access the published default
dashboard that is assigned to their role. End users can personalize their dashboard by switching templates and adding or removing
widgets from slots. A template defines the layout of a dashboard and divides the workspace
into slots. Slots are containers for one or more widgets, which are elements of the user
interface that group summary information and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) from
different sources and present them in an actionable format. If end users personalize a
dashboard, changes that developers publish to a default dashboard do not overwrite or reset
the personalized dashboard of the end users. Find basic information that you need more efficiently by organizing your
dashboard layout in a comprehensive and transparent way. Dashboards that offer quick
access to information that is necessary for a particular role can help increase
productivity. Increase the productivity of your team by personalizing the dashboard with
widgets that display relevant information, such as charts or shortcuts to reports and
frequently used resources. A dashboard widget displays operational information about your application and key
performance indicators, such as the number of assigned items or the average time to resolve a
case. By personalizing your dashboard with widgets that are relevant to your role, you can
increase productivity. The following table lists the widgets that you can add to your dashboard in a Theme Cosmos
application: Options include changing the
title of the widget and the visibility of the Quick Create
option. Options include selecting the case type and the
Location property. Options include
changing the source of the list to a specific work queue or work group. Options
