Managing Endpoints > Using the MC Dashboard

Using the MC Dashboard

The DASHBOARD page gives you an overview of the MC's current configuration, status, and health, and the status and activity of your PCoIP deployment. You can also use the dashboard to keep track of upcoming schedules and view their details.

An example of the MC dashboard is shown below. The table that follows describes the various sections in the dashboard layout and contains links to more information about the dashboard components.
