The IMSS dashboard
uses tabs to provide flexibility for administrators. Tabs provide
a container for widgets allowing administrators to create their
own customized dashboard. The dashboard supports up to 30 tabs per
user account.
You can move widgets on tabs by dragging and dropping widgets
in various locations on the tab. The layout for a tab determines
where you can move the widget.
NoteCustomizing the dashboard, tabs, or widgets for one user
account has no effect on the dashboard, tabs, or widgets for a different
user account. Each user account has a completely independent dashboard,
tabs, and widgets from every other user account.
|
Default Tabs
The default tabs replace the IMSS Real-Time
Statistics screen. All information that was available on the IMSS Real-Time
Statistics screen is available through the widgets on the default
tabs. The dashboard provides the following default tabs:
-
System Overview
-
Message Traffic
-
Sender Filtering
-
Cloud Pre-Filter
NoteDeleting the default tabs permanently removes the tabs
from viewing for the user account that removed the tabs. There is
no way to recover a deleted tab. Deleting a default tab has no impact
on the dashboard for other user accounts.
