SecureTrack Dashboard

Overview

The SecureTrackDashboard is the default opening page. It includes widgets that summarize key information about the rules and devices monitored by SecureTrack.

The page makes it easy to see if there are any rules or devices that require your attention and makes it easy to open the Rule Viewer with detailed information.

Click on many of the elements on the Dashboard to open the Rule Viewer with a filter applied to view details of the items listed on the widget. The shortcuts to the Rule Viewer use pre-defined TQL searches. If required, after you open the Rule Viewer, you can modify the TQL search parameters to get the specific data that you require.

The Dashboard Essentials extension provides a suite of more granular analytics tools, each focused on specific goals that your organization may have. The visuals are intended to help you monitor progress across time and can be easily exported in PDF form to document progress or report out to stakeholders. For more information, see Dashboard Essentials.
