Dashboard
The first page that appears when you log on is the Dashboard. The Dashboard is a gateway to the most common components in the application. The dashboard that appears when a new user logs on for the first time is the Welcome Dashboard. User roles enable you to restrict access to SevOne NMS workflows and to restrict access to devices. When your user role does not permit you to use a workflow, that workflow does not appear for you. Contact your SevOne NMS administrators to discuss your security settings.
The Report Manager enables you to select a report to be your custom dashboard to define what appears for you when you log on.
