Dashboards and Widgets

Dashboards: Overview

The Dashboard is an important feature of ARM that enables you to display multiple performance analytics, reporting, and other widgets on a single screen. ARM includes predefined widgets that can be customized and displayed on the classic Dashboards page. These widgets are shown in their own pane, and display graphs, tables, and/or text. Users can choose their own widgets to populate their Dashboard. Widgets are also expandable to view the raw data that comprises the visualization.

Adding Filters to the Dashboard

Filters can be added to the Dashboard so users can narrow the Dashboard’s results to the data they are interested in viewing. To get started, click on the Filter () icon available at the top right of the screen. This will bring up the Filters window.

Next, in the FILTER OPTIONS window, select the field(s) by which to filter the data:

1. Date Range: You can select a date range to show only the Dashboard results contained in that range.
   
2. Salesforce Org: Filters the results by Salesforce Org.
   
3. Version Control Type, Repo, and Branch: Filters the commits by Version Control Repository and the branch.
   

Use Dashboards to:

1. Monitor the day-to-day activities being carried out in your Salesforce Org.
2. Access the information you use frequently.
3. View the top developers actively working on your project.
4. Quickly find and preview widgets, then add them to the Dashboard from the Add Widget pane.
