Using the XD-XA Dashboards
The XD-XA dashboards are in the Published Applications group in the Dashboard List menu in the
vRealize Operations Manager user interface.
Widget Interaction in XD-XA Dashboards
vRealize Operations Manager supports interaction between widgets in a single dashboard. Widgets are
combined so that the content of the destination widget is updated according to the value selected in the
source widget.
For information about creating and modifying dashboards and customizing widgets see
vRealize Operations Manager Customization and Administration Guide.
