Dashboard Overview

The Dashboard is your workspace command center. It provides an at-a-glance view of your data operations, showing execution metrics, system health, and quick access to recent items.

Accessing the Dashboard​

Click Dashboard in the left sidebar, or click the FactoryThread logo. The Dashboard is your default landing page after login.

Dashboard Sections​

The Dashboard is organized into two main sections:

Overview Section​

The top section contains widgets that summarize your workspace:

Execution Metrics Widget

  • Total executions in the selected time period
  • Success vs. failure breakdown
  • Visual chart showing trends

Top Flows Widget

  • Most frequently executed flows
  • Success rate for each
  • Quick access to flow details

Workspace Stats Widget

  • Total flows, views, and APIs
  • Connection count
  • Active schedules

Upcoming Schedules Widget

  • Next scheduled flow executions
  • Time until execution
  • Quick access to flow

Connection Health Widget

  • Status of all connections
  • Healthy vs. unhealthy count
  • Links to problem connections

Quick Actions Widget

  • Create new flow
  • Create new connection
  • Open Designer
  • Common tasks

Recent Items Widget

  • Recently accessed flows and views
  • Quick resume where you left off
  • Sorted by last access time

Execution Insights Section​

The bottom section shows a detailed table of recent executions:

  • Flow Name - Which flow ran
  • Status - Success, failed, or running
  • Started - When execution began
  • Duration - How long it took
  • Trigger - What started it (schedule, manual, API)

Click any row to see execution details including input data, output data, and any errors.

Using the Dashboard​

Filtering Executions​

The Insights table supports filtering:

Date Range

  • Last 24 hours
  • Last 7 days
  • Last 30 days
  • Custom range

Status

  • All executions
  • Successful only
  • Failed only

Workflow Type

  • All workflows
  • Scheduled workflows
  • HTTP-triggered workflows
  • Callable workflows

Collapsing Sections​

Both the Overview and Execution Insights sections can be collapsed:

  1. Click the collapse icon in the section header
  2. The section minimizes
  3. Click again to expand

Useful when you want to focus on one section.

Refreshing Data​

Dashboard data refreshes automatically. To manually refresh:

  • Click the refresh icon in any widget
  • Or reload the page

Time Period Selection​

Widgets show data for the selected time period:

  • Default is last 7 days
  • Change using the date selector
  • All widgets update together

Understanding Metrics​

Execution Metrics​

Total Executions The count of all flow runs in the period.

Success Rate Percentage of executions that completed without errors:

Success Rate = (Successful Executions / Total Executions) × 100

Trend The chart shows execution volume over time:

  • Green bars = successful
  • Red bars = failed
  • Patterns reveal usage trends

Failed ExecutionsRareMultiple per day

Responding to Issues​

When You See Failed Executions​

  1. Note the flow name and time
  2. Click the failed execution row
  3. Review the error details
  4. Check input data for issues
  5. Fix and re-run if needed

When Connections Show Errors​

  1. Click the unhealthy connection count
  2. Navigate to the problem connection
  3. Test the connection
  4. Review and fix configuration
  5. Verify resolution

When Schedules Are Missed​

If expected scheduled runs don't appear:

  1. Verify the flow is deployed
  2. Check the schedule configuration
  3. Review recent execution history
  4. Check for overlapping long-running flows

Dashboard Best Practices​

Daily Check-In​

Start your day by reviewing:

  1. Failed executions - Address any overnight failures
  2. Connection health - Ensure all sources are accessible
  3. Upcoming schedules - Know what's coming

Weekly Review​

Periodically review trends:

  1. Execution volume - Growing? Stable?
  2. Success rates - Improving or declining?
  3. Top flows - Still the right priorities?

Setting Up for Monitoring​

To make the Dashboard most useful:

  1. Name flows clearly - Easy to identify in lists
  2. Use schedules - Automated flows appear in metrics
  3. Handle errors - Flows that fail gracefully are easier to debug

Customization​

Widget Visibility​

Future versions will allow:

  • Hiding widgets you don't need
  • Rearranging widget order
  • Custom time ranges per widget

Workspace Selection​

If you have multiple workspaces:

  1. Use the workspace selector in the sidebar
  2. Dashboard shows data for selected workspace only
  3. Switch workspaces to view different data

Troubleshooting​

Dashboard Not Loading​

  • Check your internet connection
  • Try refreshing the page
  • Clear browser cache
  • Check for service status

Metrics Seem Wrong​

  • Verify the date range selection
  • Check timezone settings
  • Ensure flows are deployed (drafts don't execute)
  • Allow time for recent executions to appear

Missing Recent Executions​

  • Executions may take a moment to appear
  • Check the date filter includes recent period
  • Verify the flow actually executed (check schedule)
