Viewing dashboards

Amazon IoT SiteWise Monitor enables you to provide consistent views of your asset data to the right set of people. Portal administrators, project owners, and project viewers can view all dashboards that are defined for their projects. You can view all of your dashboards in one place on the Dashboards page or you can view dashboards from a project page.

Adjusting the dashboard time range

When you view a dashboard, you can change the time range of the displayed data. With this feature, you can compare recent behavior with past behavior or focus on a specific time range. You can choose from a set of predefined time ranges, or you can specify the exact start and end of the time range to view. You can also restore the view to show live data.

Note

Each dashboard page has its own Time range. If you change the Time range for one dashboard, this doesn't change it for other dashboards. All visualizations on a dashboard use the time range you choose.
