Dashboard Workspace
The Dashboard Workspace provides a centralized view of threat information for the geographic area associated with the selected dashboard. It combines an interactive Map with one or more Alert Channels, allowing you to monitor relevant alerts, review threat details, and understand where events are occurring within or around the selected area.
To access the Dashboard Workspace, on the Select a Dashboard page, click the dashboard card you want to open.
The Dashboard Workspace includes the following sections:
Dashboard Header
The dashboard name is displayed at the top of the workspace. For example, in the provided screen, the selected dashboard is SF.
From the dashboard header, you can:
- Click the Settings (gear) icon to access options for managing the dashboard.
- Use the Back arrow to return to the Select a Dashboard page.
Alert Channels
The Dashboard Workspace displays Alert Channels as separate cards. Each channel is configured to show specific types of alerts based on the selected categories and filters.
For example, the dashboard shown contains channels such as:
-
Crime Alerts
-
Hazards
Depending on the alert, a channel can display information for each alert such as the alert title, how long ago the alert was received or published, and the Risk Score.
Map
The Map displays the geographic area associated with the dashboard and provides visual context for alert and location information. Use the map to quickly locate alerts and view their positions within the monitored area through map markers.
