Understanding the Dashboard

The Dashboard contains a variety of tables and charts that can help users identify who is on their network and what is happening on their network.

Users can sync the dashboard time range to the timeline or manually set the value. When the dashboard is synced to the timeline, each graphic will update to contain only the data within the timespan set within the timeline.

Each graphic is explained below.
