Dashboards enables you to obtain data from robots executed through IBM RPA. Robots and their schedules perform activities that are essential to the workflow of multiple customers, with the Dashboard, it becomes possible to monitor the executions of these activities by bringing the status of the activity, for example if it was executed successfully, failed, not started, and running.

Creating a new dashboard

To create a new Dashboard, open the Dashboard menu on the left side, click on the hamburger menu, then click on “New...” to start creating.
Give you Dashboard a name and click “Create”.

You will start with an empty dashboard that looks like this:

Now we need to start binding data on our dashboard. In this example I’ll be creating a new grid to check my bot execution status.
To add a new grid, click on the grid icon on the left or at the center of the screen. 
Once you add the grid, click on the cog on the left to start binding data.

I will be adding the following columns to my grid: start time, status, script name and computer name. These columns refer to information about bot runs on the tenant.
I will also add a new section with a pie chart to see percentages of the execution status of my bots, selecting the "status" as the binding.

With this simple dashboard I am able to follow the execution of all bots in the tenant and identify possible issues.

The latest update

Users can create private and public Dashboards in IBM RPA Control Center, but it wasn't possible to know who created the dashboard, specially on dashboards set as public which are visible tenant wise. Now it is easier to spot the owner and ask for updates or changes.

Starting from the latest release (30.0.1) dashboards show the name of the user who created them at the top right, like the image below:

In case the user who owns the dashboard is deactivated, it will also be shown.

And if the user gets deleted from the tenant, the dashboard will display the tenant name as the owner (my tenant is named "IBM RPA "in this example):
