Dashboard Design question

[Anon Anon]

Hi,
Hopefully this is a very simple question to answer.
We have a simple NimBus installation and would just like a three tiered dashboard. The top view giving overall alarm status of each sub-panels. The sub-panels would be:
1) UPS/Power Status
2) Server Status
3) Application Status

I cannot seem to work out how to get these sub panels created!
I would like to have 3 "traffic light" buttons showing the alert status of each of the sub-panels.
Thanks in advance.

All you should need to do is just drag and drop the panel widget from the toolbox at the upper left onto the dashboard.  Then you should be able to configure its settings and open it up to design the contents of the panel.

Giles,

Keith is correct, a Panel is all you need to create drill downs.

For more information, I definitely recommend you check out this video on dashboard creation within the SDP:

Additionally, please note there is a section within this Support Portal which contains a number of user training videos:
