Description

Dashboard

The Dashboard tab provides a summary view of status and health information about workload transformations. It also provides convenient access to planning events, bookmarks, and recently viewed pages.

NOTE:Information is restricted based on the permissions associated with the user’s assigned role.

 

Workload Status

The Workload Status panel in the Dashboard provides the total number of workloads for the project, wave, or batch currently being displayed, and the counts for those workloads in each transformation state, on hold, and with health warnings. Click the category title or value to open a Workloads list with the related member items.

  • Total Workloads

  • Imported

  • On Hold*

  • Defining

  • Submitted

  • In Progress

  • Completed

  • Warning*

* Workloads that are On Hold or have a Warning are counted in one of transformation categories, and are also tallied separately.

 

What’s Happening

The What’s Happening panel in the Dashboard displays key planning events for workloads on the current date, a specified period, or a custom day or period. Users can easily see and do the important tasks for the day or an upcoming date, without performing navigation or complex queries.

 

Bookmarks

The Bookmarks panel in the Dashboard lists the personal bookmarks for the logged-in user. Bookmarks retain the state of the page or dialog visited. You can easily revisit favorite pages or dialogs without performing repetitive and complex queries. You can also share bookmark URLs with colleagues and stakeholders. Transformation Manager honors the role-based permissions when it displays the page.

 

Recently Viewed

The Recently Viewed panel in the Dashboard displays links to pages and dialogs that the logged-in user has recently accessed for View or Edit actions. Duplicate instances with the same URL are represented by a single entry. You can quickly return to a location without repeating the navigation or complex search criteria. You can share the URL with colleagues, or add the link to your bookmarks. Transformation Manager honors the role-based permissions when it displays the page.
