Using the Summary Tab and Dashboard Tabs
The Summary tab and the dashboard tabs can be accessed from the Monitor pane of the Information riser bar. These tabs provide a high-level, interactive view of the exceptions to monitored business rules. They provide a summarized view of the same exceptions that are displayed in Monitor Viewer. You can use these tabs to quickly scan the status of the monitoring jobs in your repositories. Then, you can use the Monitor Viewer to drill-down to the business rule level in a selected repository and perform more detailed analysis.
The Dashboard contains a Summary tab and separate dashboard tabs for each of the repositories connected in SAS Data Management Studio. Perform the following tasks to use the Dashboard:
