Access the live dashboard

To view the live dashboard, click the Dashboard button in the top right corner.

This will give you access to the live dashboard, where you can view the configured solution and verify everything is working as intended.

The dashboard can take up to 20 seconds to load.

You can access the dashboard through the button at any time, but the content depends on the configuration of the deployment.
