Navigate to the tabbed display of your dashboards by clicking
on the button bar and then click any dashboard on the 'Welcome to storm VIEW' contents page:
-
Click the Plus
button located to the right of the last dashboard tab.
-
In the dashboard creation dialog, enter a meaningful name for the dashboard. Optionally, provide a description that summarises the type of reports that the dashboard is intended to display (this description will be displayed on the Contents page and as a tooltip when users hover over the dashboard tab).
-
Ensure that Real-time Statistics is selected and then click OK.
An empty real-time statistics dashboard is displayed. The dashboard space is presented as two columns divided by a light grey line. You can now set up real-time modules here. See Place Real-Time Modules on a Dashboard.
