VOSS Reference Dashboards#
Overview#
VOSS Insights Dashboard ships with a collection of standard, read-only, reference dashboards.
To access the reference dashboards, click the Main Menu icon (hamburger) to display the dashboards library panel to the left of the GUI. Expand the tree to locate the VOSS-Reference dashboards folder. The dashboards are organized in several sub-folders.
While you can’t edit, delete, or move the reference dashboards (or their folders), you can clone (copy) any of these dashboards, then modify the clone to create new, custom dashboards that meet your requirements.
Note
Dashboards are based on search definitions that extract data from one or more fields. These may be predefined search definitions that ship with the default dashboards, or definitions that you set up to create custom views of the data to meet the needs of your organization.
Important
The VOSS reference dashboards described in this topic is the standard set shipped with the latest Insights release. This collection may be updated at each software release:

Using the MS Graph Teams Data Dashboards#
VOSS reference dashboards for Microsoft Teams Calls/Teams Room use Graph API for monitoring. The dashboards display data as graphs and charts, and then displays the same data in tables (at the bottom of each dashboard), so that you can print the information in the tables, in an easily readable format.
Note
Before you can use the MS Graph Teams Data dashboards to collect and display Microsoft Teams data, you’ll need to configure the Microsoft tenant (on Microsoft); that is, to register the application and obtain a customer tenant ID, client secret, and client ID. You will need these details to input on the Arbitrator when enabling MS Teams monitoring (via Archive Management > Configuration Management > API Config > MS Teams Config). See the Configuration section in the Arbitrator Administration Guide for further details.
