Editing dashboards or pages

Console content is composed of dashboards, folders, and external URLs. Such content is accessed through icons and submenus in the navigation bar.

Procedure

  • Click Console Settings > Pages to create, edit, and delete dashboards and folders for the console navigation. You can also edit external URLs that are launched from the navigation bar. You cannot create URLs in the console. Instead, URLs are created when an application is deployed to the console that includes the URL node in its descriptors.
    You can create dashboards with any of the following layouts:
    Proportional
    With proportion layout, widgets can be positioned anywhere to create a non-scrolling dashboard. Proportional layout supports overlaying widgets. Widgets proportionally resize based on the resolution of the screen being used.
    Freeform
    With freeform layout, widgets can be positioned anywhere on a dashboard, including over another widget. Freeform dashboards scroll horizontally or vertically, depending on the size of screen being used.
    Fluid
    With fluid layout, widgets reorder their position on the dashboard depending on the type of screen being used. This layout type supports vertical scrolling only, that is, when a screen is narrow widgets are displayed vertically. This layout type is the most flexible layout in relation to mobile device screens, for example, tablets and smart phone screens. Fluid layout does not support the overlaying of widgets.
