Custom dashboard enables the creation of personalized dashboards by combining widgets and display options to highlight key insights. Widgets display metrics and dimensions in summary, table, or distribution formats. The dashboard supports editing, deletion, and sharing, while recipients of shared dashboards can view or clone them.
Additionally, filter settings for each dashboard target specific types of video streams, such as Live video on Roku devices viewed in the United States within the last 30 days.
These use cases allow you to easily create Custom Dashboards with VSI Video metrics and metadata. Custom metrics analyze application performance and user experience in various use cases.
