Optimization Dashboard
The Optimization dashboard is designed to provide a comprehensive analytics overview of recent host application activity and guide utilization over a fixed timeframe. The dashboard is comprised of data tiles called "widgets" that display analyses of various metrics, such as, top user roles, events based on activation conditions, feedback trends, and highlights any potential guide issues. The Optimization dashboard also provides second-level drill-down tables that allow you to get insights about guides with just one click, enabling you to quickly filter selected guides for efficient guide management.
