Dashboard Overview¶
Complete guide to the RosettaHub Federated Dashboard -- your single pane of glass for the Supercloud.
Overview¶
The Federated Dashboard is your central workspace for managing cloud resources across AWS, Azure, GCP, Alibaba Cloud, OVH, OCI, OpenStack, and VMware from a single interface. It unifies the RosettaCloud resource layer and the cloud operations governance layer (RosettaBox) into one cohesive experience.
The dashboard is built around two core concepts: perspectives (saved layouts of views) and views (the individual content panels within a perspective). Together, they let you customize your workspace for any workflow.
Dashboard Layout¶
The dashboard consists of four main areas:
Left Pane¶
The left pane has two modes:
| Tab | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Workspace | Your personal default layout. Any changes you make here (opening views, rearranging, resizing) are automatically saved to your default layout. This is your day-to-day working area. |
| Perspective tabs | Read-only previews of shared and public perspectives. Changes made while viewing a perspective tab are not saved -- they are for browsing only. |
Below the Workspace tab, perspectives are organized into categories (folders):
- DASHBOARDS -- overview and analytics perspectives
- ADMIN -- user, organization, and registration management
- GOVERNANCE -- compliance, policies, and cloud account oversight
- WORKSPACE -- compute-focused development and research perspectives
- COMPUTE -- machine, session, and formation management
- STORAGE -- object, block, and file storage management
- PROFILE -- account settings, portfolios, and social features
- CONSOLE -- perspective and view management tools
- MARKETPLACE -- discover and deploy shared formations, images, and portfolios
Expand a category to see its perspectives. Click a perspective to preview it (read-only). To adopt a perspective as your default layout, select it from the perspective dropdown in the toolbar.
Toolbar¶
The top toolbar provides global controls:
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Add View | Add a new view to the current perspective |
| Show/Hide Filter Bar | Toggle the artifact filter bar on all views |
| Show/Hide Details on Hover | Toggle rich hover tooltips on artifacts |
| Save Layout | Save the current view arrangement to the active perspective |
| Save Layout As | Save the layout as a new perspective |
| Perspective Dropdown | Select a perspective from allowedGoldenPerspectives -- this changes your default layout to the selected perspective |
| Cloud Provider | Filter all views by cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP, Alibaba Cloud, OVH, OpenStack) |
| Cloud Account | Filter by cloud account |
| Region | Filter by region |
| Sign Out | Log out of RosettaHub |
Perspective dropdown vs. left pane
The perspective dropdown in the toolbar changes your default layout -- when you select a new perspective, it becomes your active workspace and is saved. The left pane perspective tabs are read-only previews that do not change your saved layout.
View Area¶
The main workspace where you interact with your views. Each view displays a specific type of resource or content.
Arranging views:
| Action | How To |
|---|---|
| Move | Drag a view tab to reposition it |
| Split | Drop a tab on an edge to split the area horizontally or vertically |
| Stack | Drop a tab on the center of another view to create a tab group |
| Maximize | Double-click a view tab to maximize it |
| Close | Click the X on a view tab |
| Reset Layout | Use toolbar to restore the default perspective layout |
View tab options (right-click):
- Close
- Close Others
- Close All
- Rename
- Pop Out
Status Bar¶
The bottom bar displays:
- Connection status
- Active operations
- System health indicators
Switching Perspectives¶
To switch your active perspective:
- Click the perspective dropdown in the toolbar (shows the current perspective name)
- Type to search or scroll the list
- Select a perspective -- the dashboard reloads with the selected perspective's layout
- This becomes your new default layout
To browse perspectives without changing your default:
- Expand a category in the left pane
- Click a perspective name to preview it
- Your default layout is not changed
Filtering and Search¶
Every view includes built-in filter controls:
Visibility Filters¶
| Filter | Description |
|---|---|
| Private | Show/hide artifacts you own |
| Shared | Show/hide artifacts shared with you |
| Public | Show/hide publicly available artifacts |
Search Filter¶
Type in the search box to filter artifacts by any property, including label, description, type, owner, or cloud-specific attributes. Filtering is applied in real time.
Artifact Limit¶
Set a maximum number of artifacts displayed in each view to improve performance with large collections.
Global Cloud Filters¶
Use the toolbar's Cloud Provider, Cloud Account, and Region controls to filter all views simultaneously. This is useful for focusing on resources in a specific cloud or region.
View Modes¶
Views can display artifacts in different modes:
- Card mode -- visual cards with icons and key properties
- Table mode -- compact tabular view for working with many items
Toggle the view mode from the toolbar.
Context Menus¶
Right-click any artifact to access its context menu with available actions. The menu adapts based on:
- Resource type -- each type has specific actions
- Ownership -- private items have more actions than shared ones
- Resource state -- running machines show Stop; stopped machines show Start
- Your role -- administrators see additional management actions
See the Actions Reference for a complete list of all context menu actions.
