== Overview ==
Dashboards are the primary way of viewing the things Veloopti has collected from your IT Infrastructure. Dashboards are composed of multiple elements:
* Graphs
* Event table
* Filters panel
== Graphs ==
A [[Graph|Graph]] is a graphical representation of data, in which "the data is represented by symbols, such as bars in a bar chart, lines in a line chart, or slices in a pie chart". Veloopti can store large amounts of data and displaying them in a graph is the way that it is easy for you to interpret the data with a glance.
==Event table ==
An [[Events|Event]] is a detectable or discernible occurrence that has significance for the management of the IT Infrastructure. The event table contains Events that are related to the graphs.
'''Viewing an event'''
Events can be viewed by clicking on the event
'''Changing the Event Browser column order'''
To change the Event Browser columns navigate to the [[Event_browser|Event Browser]] and change the columns using the [[File:Sort.png|20px]] icon.
== Filters panel ==
Adjusting the filters allows you to change the level of detail that is populated in the results pane. See [[Dashboard_Filters|dashboard filters]] for a full description of what is available.
=== Hiding the filters panel ===
The filters panel can be hidden moving the slider [[File:slider_left.png|25px]] to the left hand side. Once it is hidden it can be revealed by moving the slider to the right[[File:slider_right.png|25px]].
=== Selecting a time period ===
The time period that is being displayed can be changed using the date/time picker that is labelled '''Time Range'''. Click in the text box to expand the the selection criteria for the time range. Move your mouse over the desired time range and click on it to apply. If a custom time range is desired click on '''Custom Range''' and either select the desired time range or type it into the fields at the top and click on the '''Apply''' button

*'''Custom range''': Selects time range that can can be as short or as long as desired. The data will appear in time increments that match the selected range.
