Dashboard

The dashboard provides a high-level overview of the network and the current states of managed
devices. This allows you to easily check the status of the devices on the network. The dashboard
also provides several features to help you quickly access reports, device configurations, and
system event logs.

The dashboard refreshes every ten seconds regardless of the size of your network. Note that data
may become momentarily out of sync between the dashboard and other areas of the application.
For example, if you remove a product from the network while another user navigates from the
dashboard to a more detailed view of the product, the product may not appear in the detailed view.
