The Dashboards Home page displays global and multi-user dashboards as defined in your user interface view, the first time you log into P6 Web Access. If you have the rights to access the Manage Dashboards page as defined in your user interface view, you can create dashboards and choose which dashboards are displayed on the Dashboards Home page.
Use the following sections to review the types of dashboards your administrator can configure and assign to your user interface view:
Global dashboards
Your administrator may create one or more global dashboards, customized for your company's business needs, that apply to all P6 Web Access users. If your administrator creates global dashboards and assigns one or more to your view:
- they are automatically displayed as tabs on the Dashboards Home page when you login to P6 Web Access
- the name of the global dashboard is determined by the administrator, and may be something other than Personal Workspace
- only users with the required security privilege can modify the global dashboard's content, layout, or access
If the administrator who created the global dashboard did not select the 'Restrict users from changing the dashboard filter' option on the Content tab of Dashboard Preferences, you can optionally specify your own dashboard filter in the Filter by field on the dashboard.
To hide a global dashboard, choose Manage Dashboards from the Dashboards action menu in the global navigation bar, then clear the dashboard's corresponding checkbox in the Displayed Dashboards section. Refer to Show, hide, or reorder dashboards for more information.
Multi-user dashboards created by the administrator
Your administrator may configure one or more multi-user dashboards, customized for your needs. If you assign a multi-user dashboard to a user interface view, only users who have access to the dashboard as specified in the Access tab of Dashboard Preferences can view the dashboard.
Tip: A user is considered a new user if their user login/password was added to the Users dialog box in the P6 version of the Project Management module, even if a previous version was installed.
Your administrator may configure and assign a user interface view for new users. You can access global and multi-user dashboards as defined in your view when you login to P6 Web Access for the first time. If you have the rights to access the Manage Dashboards page, you can create and display the dashboards you want to view. On the Manage Dashboards page, dashboards currently displayed on the Dashboards Home page are listed in the Displayed Dashboards section; dashboards you have access to, currently not displayed, are listed in the Available Dashboards section. If you do not have the rights to access the Manage Dashboards page, you can view only the dashboards included in your view.
