Overview Dashboard

Updated

The Overview Dashboard is a preview of the most critical information about all the entities in your environment, and acts as a command center for the entire CommCell environment.

You can use the Overview Dashboard to monitor CommCell health and performance from a high level. Many tiles on the dashboard open more detailed reports that you can use to analyze the displayed statistics.

Administrative View

The Overview Dashboard is available for CommCell Administrators and Managed Service Provider (MSP) Administrators, and the dashboard appears as the landing page when these users open the Command Center.

The following table includes descriptions for all the tiles that are visible to CommCell Administrators and Managed Service Provider (MSP) Administrators on the Overview Dashboard.
