Using the Custom User Interface
After you log in to the Custom user interface, your Home page appears in the browser window.
Figure 2-1. Example Home Page
The Home page contains the following components.
Dashboards
The tabs near the top of the Home page are your dashboards. In the example,
the
dashboards are Operations and Alerts by Type. The user groups to which
you belong determine which dashboards are available to you. A
vCenter Operations Manager administrator assigns you to one or more user
groups when he or she creates your user account. You can switch to a different
dashboard by clicking its tab or selecting it from the Dashboards menu. You
can click Home at any time to return to your Home page.
Widgets
The panes on a dashboard are called widgets. A widget is a collection of related
information about attributes, resources, applications, or the overall processes
in your environment. Each dashboard contains one or more widgets. In the
example, the Operations dashboard contains the Resource Selector and Active
Alerts widgets. If your user account has the necessary access rights, you can
customize dashboards and widgets.
