1 Home Dashboard

Retail Home is a portal-type application for the RGBU enterprise. The UI consists of a tile-based configurable dashboard that highlights important metrics and KPIs across RGBU applications. The profile-based dashboards are configured by a Retail Home administrator for each enterprise role.

Profiles

Profiles define what information a user sees on the dashboard. The selected profile determines which tiles appear on the dashboard, and which reports, if any, appears in the banner and contextual area. Profiles must be configured by an administrator before the user will see any content on their dashboard.

Users who have more than one profile can switch between the profiles that are assigned to them. To see the list of assigned profiles, click on the Role LOV near the end of the banner.

Filters

If any filters have been configured, the user will see them on the banner. If the user selects a value for a filter, any related metrics and reports that appear in tiles or the contextual area will update based on the selected filter.

Refresh

The user can refresh their dashboards using the refresh button.

Banner

The current profile may be configured to display report metrics in the banner area directly below the dashboard controls.

Tiles

The main area of the dashboard contains a collection of tiles. A tile may correspond to an application, link, or other source of information which the user can access. Inside a tile, the user may find at-a-glance information such as metrics, reports, user notifications, links, or other relevant content, depending on how the tile was configured.

Each tile may have multiple pages of content. The user has several options to move between pages of content.

First, RGBU enterprise application tiles that have been configured to support favorites and notifications will display a favorites and notifications icon in the tile header.

Second, when the user hovers a tile, previous and next arrows will appear on the sides of the tile. By clicking these arrows, the user will move to the corresponding page in the tile.

Third, at the bottom of the tile, the user can see a row of icons corresponding to each page in the tile, where the current page's icon filled in. The user can click any of these icons to go directly to that page within the tile.

Contextual Area

In addition to tiles and the banner, a profile may include reports that display additional information to the user in the contextual area, which the user can find next to the main area.
