Dashboard view

The Dashboard view is visible only when the root node of the Node Explorer window was selected. If it is still invisible, click View Display icon on the Analysis tab on the Ribbon section, and check Dashboard in the list (See View Display for details).

Capsa provides lots of statistical graphs which are managed by panels on the Dashboard view. So, you should first create dashboard panel before you create graphs (See Creating Graphs to know how to create a graph).

Toolbar

There are four button icons on the Dashboard view.

: Creates a new dashboard panel.
: Renames the selected panel.
: Deletes the selected panel.
: Resets the Dashboard view to default settings and all user-defined graphs will be deleted.

By default, Capsa provides a dashboard panel named Default which includes three graphs and which can be renamed and be deleted after you have created a new panel.

The close icon on the top-right corner of a graph means deleting the graph from the dashboard panel instead of closing it.
