custom dashboard:
• Select System: Configure Dashboard and select the user (or group) you are configuring this custom dashboard layout
for
Note: You can configure a custom dashboard for any admin user or for the admin group or you can reconfigure the default
dashboard
The Status:Dashboard screen is the first screen displayed when admin users (other than root) log into the console manager.
If you log in as "John", and John is member of the admin group and there is a dashboard layout configured for John, then you
will see the dashboard for John (on log-in and each time you click on the Status:Dashboard menu item.
If there is no dashboard layout configured for John but there is an admin group dashboard configured then you will see the
admin group dashboard instead. If there is no user dashboard or admin group dashboard configured, then you will see the
default dashboard.
The root user does not have its own dashboard.
The above configuration options are intended to enable admin users to setup their own custom dashboards
