Creating your first dashboard
The purpose of this chapter is NOT to provide a full detailed
explanation of the tooling, but to guide you through the key steps to get
your first dashboards created. The following section will provide basic
information about how to configure the system to retrieve information from
existing databases or files, create new indicators and manage different
dashboards.
For this guide, it's assumed the simple installation has been done,
with the standard set of examples and user and role configuration. It's
important to notice this configuration MUST NOT be
used in production, since it provides default security
credentials.
Please, read the previous chapters to figure out how to get the
application up and running
The procedure to create a brand new dashboard is pretty simple as we
will see in the following sections. That procedure is composed of 3 main
stages:
Get the data we want to manipulate.
Create key performance indicators on top of such data.
Create a new dashboard and drag&drop the new KPIs on
it.
