The Relyence Dashboard provides a concise, visual overview of your quality and reliability metrics allowing you to quickly assess system health. Combining cross-module analytics, the Relyence Dashboard offers the ability to monitor all your quality activities at a high level, while providing drill-down capabilities for in-depth review.

Relyence Example Dashboards

Relyence Example Dashboard can be viewed any time by selecting Welcome to Relyence from the Help dropdown menu in the upper right corner of the Relyence header bar. This will bring up the “Welcome to Relyence” dialog. Select the module you are interested in from the left set of tabs, and then click Open Example Dashboard. For all Relyence Example Dashboards, a set of random sample data is used.

Dashboard Widgets

Each element on the dashboard is referred to as a widget. Widgets can be tables or a variety of charts, such as pie charts, line graphs, bar graphs, and gauges.

Any widget on the Dashboard can be maximized for full-screen viewing. To maximize a widget to full-screen, hover your mouse over the upper right corner of the widget title bar until a small double arrow icon – the Maximize/Minimize icon – appears. Click on this icon and the widget will toggle between full view and minimized view.

In some cases, dashboard widgets may be easier to read when maximized to full-screen. This is especially true when a widget encompasses a lot of data.

Drilldown

Another highly useful feature of Relyence Dashboards is the ability to drilldown. Drilldown enables you to view the underlying data presented in the chart or table in a particular widget.

For example, in a FMEA Dashboard that includes the Top 10 RPN widget, you can click on any row in the list and you will automatically be taken to the appropriate FMEA to the exact row on the Worksheet containing the data with the given RPN.

Creating Your Own Dashboard

Relyence Dashboards are completely customizable. You can create any number of your own Dashboards and use them to get an overview of your system information. You may use Dashboards to highlight critical Analysis data, analyze metrics, or simply to have a compact visual overview of Analysis data.

You can start either with a completely new dashboard, or create a new one based on existing dashboard and make modifications as needed. Relyence is pre-packaged with a set of sample Dashboards that can be used as a starting point and then easily customized to suit your needs.

When creating a new Dashboard in Relyence, click the Template dropdown to access the available Dashboard templates. To create a Dashboard using one of the Relyence built-in examples, choose the FMEA, FRACAS, Fault Tree, or Reliability Prediction Example Dashboard from under the Examples section in the dropdown list. You can also select the “Example Dashboard – All Modules” if you want to start with an example dashboard that includes data from all Relyence modules. To create a completely new Dashboard, select “Empty” from the Template dropdown list.

When a Dashboard is initially created, you will be taken directly to the Dashboard Editor to begin the process of customizing your Dashboard. To access the Dashboard Editor any time a Dashboard is active, click on the Customize button in the upper right corner. The Dashboard Editor is used to create your Dashboard using a drag-and-drop interface to drag widgets onto your Dashboard. Available widgets are shown in the Widget Pane on the left of the Dashboard Editor.

For organizational purposes, widgets are grouped based on the Relyence module they are associated with, and an additional General group that includes widgets that apply to all modules. You can mix and match widgets of any type on your Dashboard; they are grouped simply for organizational ease when building your Dashboard. Simply click the expand arrows in widget sections to view all available widgets.

Drag the widgets you would like on your Dashboard canvas. Once a widget is placed, the “Properties” dialog will appear to allow you to customize the widget properties to you preference. For example, you can set the widget title, the data to be used in the widget, as well as various additional properties that vary depending on the selected widget. You can go back and edit the widget properties at any time by clicking the Properties icon in the upper right corner of the widget.

You can customize the height of the rows in your Dashboard, as well as the width of the widgets, using the plus (+) and (-) icons. To delete a widget, click the delete (x) icon in the upper right corner. When a widget is deleted, only the widget is deleted, none of the underlying data in your Analyses are deleted or modified in any way.

You can specify if you want the widget to include data from a single Analysis, multiple Analyses, or all Analyses. This is a powerful way to allow you to view vital information across multiple projects in one place.
