Defining Sidebar Dashboards

A dashboard displays summarized information, often in chart form, for reference, analysis, and comparison. There are three types of dashboards: site, sidebar, and My desk.

Site dashboards are used to group and display performance indicators, comparative analyses, asset health indexes, and site information. For example, dashboards can show the current values for a group of key performance indicators or graphically trend indicator readings over a period of time. A site dashboard can have up to four sections, each displaying different information.

A sidebar dashboard consists of charts or gauges that appear at the side of a window to summarize the information in it. A sidebar dashboard contains one section that can show site panels (typically charts) or KPI gauge panels.

“My desk” dashboards provide employees with information that is relevant to them or to their roles. For example, employees with the role of Planner might be assigned a My desk definition that shows the work orders, work requests, and reliability programs assigned to them. My desk definitions can consist of 1-4 sections, and each section can display site or KPI panels.

All types of dashboards are assigned to APM users in their employee records. Site dashboards appear in the user’s Dashboard view. The user’s assigned sidebar dashboards can appear throughout the product, for example, on the Assets view, Listing tab. Standard sidebar dashboards can also appear on object windows, for example, in the Asset window’s Strategy Development view. My desk dashboards appear in the user’s My Desk view.
