Dashboards Overview

About Dashboards

Dashboards provide a concise, up-to-the-minute view of asset health.

The Predix Essentials Dashboard module enables you to create customized dashboards that display asset time series data in the form of graphs, charts, lists, and more.

The Dashboard module includes a Dashboard Browser that enables you to access and manage your dashboards. The Dashboard Browser has two views: My Favorites and All Dashboards. My Favorites displays a list of the dashboards that you have saved as favorites. All Dashboards displays a list of all of the dashboards available on your system. In either view, you can filter the list of dashboards based on the following criteria:
