The Dashboard List page is the VSA's primary method of visually displaying monitoring data, including triggered alarm conditions. The Dashboard List page maintains configurable monitoring windows called Dashboard Views. Each dashboard contains one or more panes of monitoring data called Dashlets. Each administrator can create their own customized dashboards.

• Show Title Bar - If checked, displays the dashlet with a title bar.
• Title - Specifies the title of the dashlet.
• Refresh Rate - Specifies how often the data in the dashlet is refreshed.
• Machine - Filters the dashlet by machine ID. Include an asterisk (*) wildcard with the text you enter to match multiple records.
