Using the Dashboard Control Bar

The Dashboard control bar provides top-of-the page menu items for customizing the settings of this page. When the Dashboard loads after SonicWALL GMS login, the control bar is displayed and then becomes hidden until you place your mouse cursor at the top of the page as shown below. You can lock the control bar by clicking on the “pin the control bar” icon.

The Dashboard control bar provides the following components:

•	Universal Dashboard—Includes Geographic View and associated widgets.

•	Universal Scheduled Reports—Includes Universal Scheduled Reports Wizard to create report templates.

•	My Default Page—Includes a default settings widgets page.

•

Manage Page and Widget Settings—The cog wheel icon launches the Manage Page and Widget Settings configuration tool. This tool allows you to edit, delete, or add new widgets for your Universal Dashboard page, My Default Page, or a new user page. You can also create widgets for a specific set of SonicWALL devices.

•	Save Layout—The floppy disk icon allows you to “Save Layout.” This allows you to save the Geographic View and the order of your list of widgets.

•	Search using Keywords—The Search bar allows you to filter the information displayed on the geographical map. The abc icon displays the Keyword help that includes a list of available keywords, usage description, and a filter example.

•	Switch to Full Screen—The four arrows in four corners icon enables the page into full-screen mode.

•	Pin Control Bar—The pin icon allows you to keep the Dashboard control bar always on.
