Using the DashBoard Interface

DashBoard allows for multiple Device Editor tabs to be active and available on one screen which is useful when a functional path involves more than a single device. These tabs can be saved and recalled as a layout, allowing for quick access to frequently used devices. Layouts can consist of a single device window, multiple device windows displayed full screen in tabs, or multiple devices on a shared screen.

This chapter introduces you to the DashBoard client interface, how to access menus and tabs, and how to manage your layouts.

Contact your I.T. Department if you experience communication issues with DashBoard and are running anti-virus software. You may need to verify that there is an exception in your firewall to allow DashBoard to receive TCP data via Port 5353.
