What is a Dashboard?

Overview

A dashboard is visualization tool for your organization’s data, like metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs). This data is displayed using gadgets (see What is a Gadget?), which are the small components that fetch the data and render it in an appropriate way like tables, graphs, text, etc.

1. Dashboard selector.

2. Jira Apps menu. The main access point for your dashboards. Ronin Dashboards will appear there once your admin installs the app. You can always bookmark your main dashboard URL in your browser.

3. Slideshow controls. If your dashboard has more than one slide, these controls will allow you to move from one slide to the next one, or play the slideshow (see Set Up a Slideshow).

4. Dashboard options.

   1. Dark mode.

   2. Share dashboard.

   3. Access restriction.

   4. Edit mode.

   5. “…” menu.

   6. Help.

Goal

The goal of a dashboard is to be the main display your team uses to track their work: Monitor environments, visualize sales, detect incidents, analyze performance, track projects and so on. Thus, teams can be more productive, get the right information, stay more focused and waste less time switching contexts. 

Not a Jira dashboard

Our dashboards are not Jira dashboards. A Jira dashboard is meant to work with the instance where it’s installed. However, our dashboards can connect with several Jira instances, as well as with several other tools like Bitbucket, Opsgenie or Statuspage (see the full list Dashboard Integrations: Datasources).
