Working with Dashboards [New]

Dashboards are a collection of visuals, which are graphical representations for the data provided by your data sources. To create a dashboard, you must first create a data analysis with all the visuals and configurations that you want to include. You can then publish the analysis as a read-only dashboard that can be accessed from the Dashboards tab.
Reference: For a video presentation of the functions available in the Dashboards tab, go to Ricoh How-to Videos.
    Important:

  • The options you see in the Dashboards tab and the actions that you can perform depend on your user role. Roles can restrict access to certain user interface areas or limit the available actions.

    For more information, see Users and Roles.

  • All the time-related data from the Dashboards tab is displayed in the printer time zone set in RICOH Supervisor Data Collector.

In this section:

  1. Creating and Managing Dashboards
    Dashboards provide various functions for displaying and interacting with collected data. You can create, view, and manage dashboards from the Dashboards tab.
  2. Creating and Managing Visuals
    You can create a range of visual types to help you explore and better understand your data. You select the chart type, specify the data that you want to include in the visual, and customize its appearance.
  3. Using the Sample Dashboards and Filters
    The sample dashboards contain several predefined visuals, which interpret and display the data provided by your data collectors and software connectors. You can access the sample dashboards from the Dashboards tab after you start gathering data.
  4. Downloading Data and Creating Reports
    Downloading the content of visuals and analyses is useful when you want to share your data or create reports and presentations.
  5. Working with Filters
    Filters affect the data that is displayed in the dashboard and let you focus on specific areas.
  6. Using Formulas
    Formulas are custom calculations performed on one or more data fields. You can use formulas to create calculated fields that transform your data by combining operators, functions, data fields from your data sources, or other calculated fields. The calculated fields that you add to a dataset in an analysis are available only in that analysis.
  7. Data Fields
    Data fields represent the data received from RICOH Supervisor Data Collector, RICOH API for Fiery, and RICOH ProcessDirector.
