Customer Dashboard
The Customer Dashboard area provides information about a specific customer, network, and devices. There are two main views:
- Topology. Displays the network topology with a To-Do list as well as indicators to show devices needing attention. The topology diagram can be automatically generated, or updated manually. Mouse over a device icon and click [ i ] to drill down and see more information and take action on that device. The topology view is the default view displayed when opening the customer record.
- Device Listing. The dashboard provides an alternative view of the network in a list format. The dashboard provides similar information to the topology view and allows the user to drill down into devices to manage them, but the dashboard view allows the user to sort and filter the list to more easily find a specific device. Optionally, the dashboard view can be set as the default view displayed when opening a customer record.
The top-level navigation bar in the Customer Dashboard view provides a different set of functions:
- Status. The Status page shows the state of the customer record and the associated OnPlus Network Agent, and whether the device has been successfully activated or not.
If the OnPlus Network Agent is awaiting activation, the activation details are displayed here. - Apps. This page allows integration with third party RMM systems such as ConnectWise and Autotask, as well as other OnPlus Applications.
- Events. This page provides a history of all activity and events that impact the network.
- Profile. This menu provides access to the customer Profile page, where you can edit the customer name, time zone and picture to be updated.
You can also delete, suspend, and resume this customer from this page.
This customer profile page also displays the login credentials for the customer’s OnPlus Network Agent, as well as activation details in case the appliance needs to be replaced or reactivated for any reason.
Choose Profile > Maintenance to set the time window during which maintenance tasks such as automatic firmware updates for the OnPlus Network Agent or device configuration backups are performed.
