Running Dashboards

Running Dashboards

Dashboards render live against your inventory — there’s no run-then-wait cycle. Open a dashboard from the gallery and the charts, cards, and tables populate immediately. This page covers the controls available on the rendered dashboard.

Filter Bar

A filter bar sits above the dashboard canvas. Common controls:

FilterDescription
ProjectWhich project(s) to include
Object TypesFilter by ArchiMate layer or specific types
Lifecyclecurrent, intended, or all
DateReference date for point-in-time snapshots
Relationship TypesFilter which relationships are considered

Filter changes apply across every component on the dashboard simultaneously.

Saving a Filtered View

After tuning the filter bar, click Save View to bookmark a specific filter combination. Saved views appear as quick-pick options at the top of the dashboard for one-click recall.

Refresh

Dashboards re-query the inventory on filter change. To force a re-fetch without changing filters (e.g. after another user added objects), click Refresh in the toolbar.

Print

Use the browser print dialog (⌘P) to print a rendered dashboard. The print stylesheet hides the filter bar and toolbar; charts and tables flow across pages with appropriate page breaks.

Drill-Down

Click any data point in a chart, or any row in a table, to open the underlying object in inventory. Most chart components support a “View source data” action that shows the rows the visual is summarizing.
