Perspectives

Save and organize custom dashboard layouts with views and filters across the Supercloud platform.

Overview

Perspectives are combinations of views and layouts that define your workspace in the RosettaHub Federated Dashboard. They allow you to save your dashboard configuration and switch between different work contexts instantly -- whether you are managing MetaCloud compute resources or Cloud Operations governance workflows.

Default Perspectives

By default, you have access to:

  • Public Perspectives - Such as "General" and "Workspaces and Labs"
  • Shared Perspectives - Perspectives shared with your organization
  • Private Perspectives - Perspectives you've created

Perspectives are classified by themes or folders and appear in the left panel of the RosettaHub console.

Creating Perspectives

Step 1: Arrange Your Views

Set up your dashboard by:

  1. Opening the views you need
  2. Arranging them in your preferred layout
  3. Configuring filters for each view

Step 2: Save the Perspective

  1. Click the Save button (or use the Overview tab)
  2. Enter a name for your perspective
  3. Click Save

Your perspective becomes a RosettaHub artifact that can be shared with others.
