# Managing dashboards

Dashboards are already present when you install GLPI:

* **Central**: displays overall information (represents number of PCs, telephones, monitors, etc., number of users and groups, number of tickets, problems, changes, etc.)
* **Assets**: shows the elements of the portfolio with computer-type graphics by status, by manufacturer. Computers by type, network hardware by manufacturer, and more.
* **Assistance**: lists tickets and their status. Graphs are available such as tickets by status and month, top ticket categories, number of incoming tickets, assigned tickets, etc.
* **GLPI inventory reports**: shows the number of agents, tasks, elements in the fleet, etc.

All these tables are of course modifiable.

## Creating a new dashboard

***

### Added new dashboard

In this example, we will add a global view of the number of tickets and their status as well as an assignment filter by user or group.

* From the main GLPI view (by clicking on the logo at the top left), click on

* Enter a name for your dashboard then click on **`add`**
* Position your mouse where you want to position your tile and click on
* In the window for selecting the type of data to display, choose the one that suits you (here ticket summary)
* Depending on the data selected, you may be asked to choose the type of chart that will be displayed

<mark style="color:red;background-color:red;">**1.**</mark> Select the background of your tile\ <mark style="color:red;background-color:red;">**2.**</mark> Select chart type\ <mark style="color:red;background-color:red;">**3.**</mark> Select the gradient from the palette (shade of gray displayed per tile)\ <mark style="color:red;background-color:red;">**4.**</mark> Select the number of data to display (the number of data reflects the number of statuses your tile will display)\ <br>

* Click on **`edit`**
* You can enlarge your tile by selecting and stretching it

![Alt text](https://2961961068-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FsGALtnzA2IROeldmXKt5%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-42eb52c611b5ce7a1736579d74f66c953c456b24%2FDashboard-3.gif?alt=media)

You can then add as many tiles as you want.

***

### Add filter

The filter will display the result of the tile for a given element. In our example, for a particular group.

* Click on **`add filter`**

<div align="left"><img src="https://2961961068-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FsGALtnzA2IROeldmXKt5%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-0a737f7072cd7de58e9c71f256d97584b72ccfd8%2FDashboard-4.png?alt=media" alt="Alt text"></div>

* Select **`technician group`**
* Click on **`add`**
* When you are satisfied with your dashboard, click on to exit edit mode

If you want to display all the tickets in a group, you can now do so by selecting the desired group from the technician group filter

<div align="left"><img src="https://2961961068-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FsGALtnzA2IROeldmXKt5%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ea46abae02ea466221015424289bf7f32be9cb03%2FDashboard-5.gif?alt=media" alt="Alt text"></div>

You can also access the items by clicking on the desired status. For example, if I want to display all tickets in **`pending`** status for **`group 1`**, I choose group 1 in the filter and then click on the pending line to display the result in the support tab.

## Dashboard options

In the menu at the top right, you can see a number of possible options:

<div align="left"><img src="https://2961961068-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FsGALtnzA2IROeldmXKt5%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d51c3ce1c5a45f47cfe2e078583999393c67405a%2FDashboard-6.png?alt=media" alt="Alt text"></div>
