Channels

To view the Dashboard page, click on the Home icon in the left pane and choose Dashboards.

The Dashboard page organizes dashboards by Channels. Channels are groups that allow:

• Each user to manage personal dashboards

• Teams to share dashboards

• Lucidum to publish dashboards for all users.

When you click on a channel name, the main pane displays information about the dashboard(s) in that channel. For each dashboard, the main pane displays:

• Created by. The user name of the creator.

• icon to pin the dashboard (all users)

• icon to edit the dashboard (creator or admin users only)

• icon to delete the dashboard (creator or admin users only)

• menu icon with entries to copy the dashboard (all users) or forward the dashboard to another user (creator or admin users only).

Channels have role-based permissions for administrators, channel managers, and users.

Lucidum Channels

Lucidum includes pre-built dashboards, called Value-Oriented Dashboards or VODs.

Value-Oriented Dashboards display common use cases, such as asset inventory, risk overview, endpoint management, and more.

VODs are organized in the Lucidum Channels. For example, under Lucidum Channels, you should see channels for:

• Cloud

• Endpoint Security

• Identity

• Inventory

• Security & IT Ops

• Threat Intelligence

Users, even administrators, cannot add or remove dashboards from the Lucidum Channel.
