Dashboards

Pages that, thanks to graphic and numeric tiles, depending on the context of the data that has been selected in the tree view data, allow you to view a summary statement about the status of Network Station.
Tiles contain a title, a subtitle, a graph or textual information, numeric or tabular. The values they contain can be count, with the trend of the period selected by pressing the “Refresh” button in the command bar comparing the same number of days prior to the start date of the period or in real-time (CPU load, network traffic; RAM used; free disk space).

Composing the tile as a puzzle, are made of various types of dashboards: System, advertising, reseller, manager, domain, user, surveys, quizzes or tests.

In the  System, “ The Reseller“, “ The Manager” and “Domain” dashboard, the “” button allows displaying more tiles while the “” button allows reducing the number of tiles, speeding the uploading.

Network Station uses a caching system to limit queries to the database. The values of the tiles are updated after one day after the last query. By pressing the “Refresh” button at the top right, you force the data loading without using the cache and waiting one day. By pressing the “Refresh” button it also recalculates the values based on the chosen period.
