User Perspectives

Some of the content described in this article is available in meshIQ Manage versions 11.1.1 and later. See meshIQ platform Highlights v11.1 for an overview of feature changes.

In versions 10.4.2.x and earlier, User Perspectives were known as "User Views."

With User Perspectives, you can create collections of related dashboards that you would benefit from seeing simultaneously. You can switch between these collections, or "perspectives," at any time.

Initially, each user starts with a single User Perspective called the “Main" perspective.

The Workspace dashboard is part of all User Perspectives and cannot be removed. 

Add a User Perspective

  4. Click OK. All current dashboards except the Workspace dashboard are cleared.  From there, you can add, rename, or delete dashboards to update your new User Perspective.  All changes you make are retained and are visible the next time you access the same perspective.

You can return to the Main perspective by selecting it from the User Perspective list:
