Dashboard Examples

This section includes dashboard examples that will give you ideas about creating different types of dashboards. It will also show you the widgets you can use in these dashboards.

DashboardAdmin User and Access Key

The CXone Dashboard application creates a system user called DashboardAdmin, and a system role called Dashboard Administration for each tenant. The DashboardAdmin user automatically receives this role along with an access key and secret. This system user and role are used to enable the logged-in user to use the dashboard and display ACD data in the dashboards' widgets. The role is given only with the minimum set of required permissions.

It is important to note that no changes should be made to this ACD API user and role. Any changes could disrupt the functioning of the CXone Dashboard.
