About Metrics dashboards

A Metrics dashboard presents user-defined KPI information, which AVEVA™ Production Management gathers from a combination of other modules and data sources and displays as gauges on an HTML page.

Dashboards can provide the necessary summary performance information in a single view. Users can focus on the dashboards to drive their individual business units. An additional benefit is that dashboards in the plant hierarchy present consistent results based on the same set of validated data.

Metrics supports multiple dashboards at single or multiple locations in the project hierarchy. This enables you to customize dashboard presentation for individual users or analysis requirements.

You can assign user permissions to permit only those users with appropriate levels of permission to view the dashboards.
