Dashboard Widgets on page 39

Use the fully customizable Extreme AirDefense (AirDefense) Dashboard to view various data and

statistics for the sites managed through your AirDefense instance. Use the large number of built-in

widgets to create customized desktops to view data and statistics. You can create any number of

custom dashboards to meet your requirements.

AirDefense dashboards also includes a very powerful and fully customizable ﬁlter function to customize

the data that you wish to view. You can ﬁlter the data displayed through a dashboard and its widgets by

a site's location or by its site group. Further, you can also ﬁlter your data on the time duration of interest.

These options, location and time, can be applied independent of each other.

View Dashboard

always named Dashboard and cannot be modiﬁed or deleted. When you login to your AirDefense

account for the ﬁrst time, this is the only dashboard that is available for immediate use.
