Dashboard Setup

The dashboard is the home of the EAM Web application and the first thing a user sees when logging into the system. It provides a brief overview of module data and serves as a portal to more detailed information. Through the dashboard, users have immediate access to the modules that they use frequently.

Some dashboard components are edited using the Design Mode tool within the dashboard. Additional dashboard setup can be found in the Admin Portal > Dashboard Management.

Dashboard Components

Dashboard	The primary EAM Web user interface.
Dashboard Tabs	Links to sets of related data elements. One user's Dashboard can have an unlimited number of Dashboard Tabs, which are listed down the left-hand side of the screen. Click on a tab to view to the frames and plug-ins available for use in that tab.
Frame	A rectangular space on a dashboard tab that contains plug-ins.
Plug-in	The software components that display data within frames. EAM employs several types of plug-ins.
Dashboard/Map Split Screen	An interactive split screen view of the dashboard and Web Map.
Shared Tabs	A group of Dashboard Tabs that are shared among multiple users. Shared Tabs enable administrators to make changes to a tab and apply those changes to all users who have that tab included on their dashboard.
Shared Tab Groups	A set of Shared Tabs that have been grouped together. Shared Tab Groups enable administrators to quickly assign a set of common tabs to a user. Each user can have one Shared Tab Group. This shared group will always appear first in the user's list of Dashboard Tabs.

Dashboard Editing Tools

Enter Design Mode	Switches the EAM Dashboard into Design Mode, the state that enables administrators to edit the Dashboard currently in view. Note: The following tools appear when in Design Mode:
Add buttons	Allow administrators to add new tabs, frames and plug-ins to the dashboard. Add buttons appear in multiple places within Design Mode.
Edit	Enables an administrator to modify the related Dashboard component.
Manage Tab Group	Lets an administrator assign a Shared Tab Group to the Dashboard.
Manage Users	Lets an administrator control which users the Shared Tab is assigned to. Appears only when a Shared Tab is selected.
Editing Pane	Provides a means for modifying the properties of a Dashboard component.
Exit Design Mode	Switches the Dashboard out of Design Mode.

Edit Frame

When users select a Dashboard component for editing, the Edit Frame appears, providing a means to modify the component's properties.

Move Pane	Switches the side of the screen that the Edit Frame displays.
Delete	Deletes the selected Dashboard component. If the component is a Shared Tab, the system removes Shared Tab from the user's dashboard.
Save	Saves all changes made to the dashboard component's settings.
Cancel	Cancels any edits and closes the menu.
