Approachable Control Experiences

DashBoard CustomPanels reduce the expertise needed to run a production

DashBoard CustomPanel interfaces are used by customers worldwide to create tailored interfaces for specific purposes, including:

  • Custom monitoring interfaces
  • Simplified control interfaces for productions

Core features within DashBoard include:

  • PanelBuilder is used to build custom user interfaces for triggering and control of Ross and other devices.
  • ogScript is the scripting language that DashBoard uses to interact with devices and make user interfaces dynamic
  • Visual Logic provides a simple way to build ogScript commands and conditional logic into your CustomPanels

Controlling access to your openGear environment

Access to DashBoard devices can be managed using Ross Platform Manager

Ross Platform Manager can be used to control user access to devices through DashBoard. Administrators define which devices users have access to and the level of permission that the user has over each device. By constructing these access levels using roles, managing access control for large openGear ecosystems becomes easy.

  • Integrates with Ross Platform Manager’s role-based access control functionality
  • Supports LDAP integration

Faster Communication with DashBoard Proxy Server

DashBoard proxy server speeds communication between OGP binary devices and remote users

A DashBoard proxy server enables users on remote DashBoard clients to connect to openGear frames through the proxy server instead of connecting to them directly. The proxy server can accelerate communications in the following situations:

  • When DashBoard users are far away from the OGP binary devices they are trying to control
  • For certain devices that only accept only a single connection
  • When only one IP address can be exposed between locations
