Chapter 2. The Dashboard Tab

Once you log in to the Self Service user interface, you will see the dashboard screen by default. The Dashboard tab provides a quick summary of the services available, requests made, and their statuses as below:

  • Total Services
  • Current (Active) Services
  • Services Retiring Soon
  • Retired Services
  • Total Requests
  • Pending Requests
  • Approved Requests
  • Denied Requests

Dashboard Tab

The slideout navigation menu on the left can be minimized by clicking on the menu icon (≡) on top, like in the full administrative user interface. The My Services, My Requests, and Service Catalog tabs on the navigation menu show counts of respective items.

As the Self Service user interface supports role-based access control of menus and features, if you are a member of multiple user groups, you can change the acting group by clicking on the current LDAP user group at the top-right corner of the user interface, Administrator > Change Group, then select the new group from the available options.

Note

Clicking on the arrow icon ( Popout Arrow ) at the top of the user interface will take you to the full administrative user interface login page, in a new browser window/tab.
