Overview
Dashboards provide a personalized and powerful way to access key features, monitor data, and track activities related to your tasks, datasets, and other resources within the application. They offer a centralized view, allowing you to quickly understand the state of your data and infrastructure. When you first log in, you'll be greeted by your default dashboard. This dashboard is pre-configured to provide a general overview of your data and resources, along with a powerful search functionality for exploring your data.
Starting with Amorphic 3.0, Insights are no longer a standalone module. As part of the upgrade from 2.7 to 3.0, Insights were merged into Dashboards. Use the Insights Details widget on a dashboard to monitor Jobs, Dataset Metrics, Data Pipelines, and Dataflow runs.
No action is required from users. During the upgrade, existing Insights are automatically moved into Dashboards.
Users can create custom dashboards as per their preference and switch between them.
