Times Displayed on the Dashboard
Dashboard data is reported in UTC time, while all other STA screens report times adjusted for your local time zone (as specified in the time zone preferences for your username).
Link to Details from a Pane
Some dashboard panes provide links to other screens, allowing you to access more detail about the selected resources.
When you click a portion of a graph you apply an associated filter. For more information, see Filter Using Dashboard Graphics.
When you click the text link within table panes, it displays the detail view for the selected resource.
For example, clicking the drive serial number within the Drives Watch List will display the Drives - Overview page showing details for drive with that serial number.
