Widgets

In the Console, you will see 4 graphic widgets on the Backup Dashboard in the form of doughnut charts.

  • The Last Backup widget shows a the timing of the latest backup sessions for your devices

What you can do with these widgets:

  • Expand/minimize a widget using the arrow icon in the top right corner
  • Select data on a widget and reset the filter - By default, the widgets summarize statistics for the devices listed below (see the Devices widget). If you click on a value, the list of devices on the dashboard is immediately updated to match the selection

The filter panel can be accessed by clicking the two right-hand arrows (>>) on the toolbar.

It is possible to expand and collapse all of the filter sections by clicking the three vertical dots in the toolbar:

By default, the top 5 most commonly used filter sections will be expanded:
