Understanding the User Interface

This section describes the layout of the Oracle Pulse user interface (UI).

Oracle Pulse Dashboard Layout

The Customer and Service levels use key performance indicators, tables and charts to show the health of all your organization's services.

Key performance indicators show data in both chart and table views, and are displayed side by side. Click any key performance indicator to open the associated table view or, where no table view is available, to open the corresponding dashboard in Oracle Pulse.

Charts show graphical representations of data. Toggle between the chart view and table view using the Open Table View icon () in the lower right corner of the chart.

Tables list all records, and are integrated among the widgets or shown in the lower part of the screen. Click any record in a table to open the lower level dashboard.

On Web browsers, the dashboard design also responds to the device size. Widgets stack vertically, and you can scroll up to see more widgets or the table of records.

Navigation Menu

The navigation menu, accessible by clicking the Menu View icon () at the top of each page displays options for the Pulse Dashboard and the Customer and Service levels. The navigation menu options respond to the screen width, with options tabbed vertically to the left.

Customer Level

For example, use the navigation menu at Customer and Service levels to move between the Calendar, CSU, Availability, Storage, Transactions, Business Insight, Performance, Incidents, and Changes dashboards, and various services.

Service Level

You can access a list of all your organization's services from any screen in Oracle Pulse using the Menu View icon in the upper left corner. Select any service to access the corresponding dashboard populated with the most recently collected metrics.
