dashboard
noun
A type of view. Each dashboard is made up of panels that can contain modules such as search boxes, fields, charts, tables, and lists. Dashboard panels are usually hooked up to saved searches.
Dashboards can display the results of previously run scheduled searches as well as data from backgrounded real-time searches. They can also be set up to run the moment the dashboard is loaded, either as a real-time search or a search that gathers data for a period in the past (such as the last 10 minutes or the last full day).
More complex dashboards can contain forms that enable you to select various time ranges or search values for a search that populates one or more dashboard panels, special drilldown behaviors, and more.
Dashboards are always associated with specific apps.
