Dashboards
There are three dashboards: Risk, Inventory, and Events and Policies. The dashboards contain widgets that offer an at-a-glance view of your network’s inventory and security posture. You can choose a dashboard from the Main Navigation or by clicking on the Dashboards button in the upper-right corner, and selecting one from the menu that is shown. The Risk dashboard is the initial default view; however, you can change the default view to a different dashboard.
You can interact with dashboards by adjusting the display settings and setting filters, see Interacting with Dashboards.

Interacting with Dashboards
You can adjust the dashboard display by interacting with widgets. There are two modes for showing data on the dashboards, graph mode and table mode. Some widgets have a fixed display mode, and some can be toggled back and forth between modes. Widgets with a symbol in the upper-right corner can be viewed in graph mode or table mode. Click on the table/graph symbol to toggle between modes.
