Configure the Dashboard
The Meridian Explorer dashboard shows valuable information about the contents and the activity of your repositories. The dashboard can contain tables, charts, pie graphs and gauges.
The dashboard shows data that is collected on a regular basis by a scheduled publishing job. After the job is finished, it invokes a stored procedure in the repository database to collect the data and to generate the layout that is shown on the dashboard.
Getting started with the dashboard is as easy as turning it on and configuring how often the data is updated.
To turn on the dashboard:
- In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, in the System Management group, click Settings. The Application Settings page appears.
- In the Management Tools group, click Enable for the Dashboard option.
To view the dashboard:
- See the topic in the Accruent Meridian Explorer User's Guide. The dashboard will appear empty until the data is collected by the publishing job.
To customize the dashboard layout:
- Contact Accruent Professional Services.
To collect performance data for publishing jobs:
- Enable the Collect dashboard statistics option of each publishing job for which you want to see the dashboard as described in Configure Synchronization Options. You can view the dashboard as described in Inspect a Background Task after the publishing job and the stored procedure have finished.
