The Dashboards area of Vonage Contact Center (VCC) contains dashboards that you or other users have configured for your account. Individual dashboards contain various components—widgets—that represent past and current activity in your account. The components, or widgets, use near real-time APIs to gather data.

The following page describes using Dashboards as a supervisor user. For information about using Dashboards as an agent, see Viewing a dashboard as an agent.

Depending on your user type, you can now use Dashboards to view, create, configure, save, share, and delete dashboards. You can add widgets to and delete widgets from dashboards, and rearrange widgets on a dashboard. For information about these tasks, see the following sections.
