Dashboard application page
In IBM® API Connect, each Catalog has its own default landing page, which lists the dashboards that are available for that Catalog.
If Spaces are enabled in your Catalogs, each Space also has its own default landing page with the list of dashboards that are available for the space. For more information about Catalogs and Spaces, see Working with Catalogs and Using syndication in API Connect.
Note: Either an incognito tab, a separate browser instance, or a full page refresh is required for viewing dashboards in multiple Analytics services simultaneously.
The dashboard landing page for Catalogs or Spaces displays a table
with the following information:
- Name
- The name of the dashboard. The names of the default dashboards are based on the information that is contained within the dashboard.
- Description
- A brief description of the dashboard and its purpose.
- Tags
- Tags that identify at what level the dashboard was created, and the required access level that
is required to change them. The following tags are supported:
- admin
- This dashboard is provided with IBM API
Connect. You cannot modify
dashboards with the
admintag. You must clone them if you want to customize them. - catalog
- This dashboard was created by someone with catalog management permissions. You can only modify
dashboards with the
catalogtag if you have catalog management permissions. If you only have space permissions, then you must clone it to modify it. - space
- This dashboard was created by someone with space management permissions. You can only modify
dashboards with the
spacetag if you have space management permissions.
The screen elements of the dashboard application page
