Dell PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) 7.9 Installation and Administration Guide

Adding widgets

You can also add widgets to customize your DD Management center setup.

1. Select Home > Dashboard.
2. On the dashboard, navigate to a tab (All Systems, etc.), or create a new tab (see the preceding section).
3. Select the Add widget control in the banner, at the top right.
4. In the Add Dashboard Widget dialog, enter a Name that will reflect the widget's use. For example, using a Lag Thresholds template, you could name the widget "New Jersey Lag Thresholds" if you have set filters to show only those systems that replicate to New Jersey. The name must be unique for this tab.
5. Select a Template for the desired output. When you select a template, an image appears under Example, showing an example of a widget of that type.
6. If applicable, in the Settings area, select any of the available options (such as filtering to narrow the scope of the widget monitoring). Widgets can be filtered using standard filter primitives such as systems, groups, and properties. Also, depending on the template, you may have other settings that you can configure.
7. Click ADD.
