      The ZeroLock® Management Console - Dashboard

      Details of the user interface of the ZeroLock Management Console's main Dashboard

        The home screen of the ZeroLock Management Console (ZMC) is called the Dashboard. Providing a wealth of information at a glance, the display is split into five (5) areas:  Banner, List of Homepages, Status, Recent Alerts, and Activity Log.

        Dashboard

        BANNER   A_ZMC Banner v3.2.1_KB

        The ZeroLock banner is the starting point for managing the ZeroLock Management Console (ZMC). From this point on the upper right of the ZMC, you can access the current alerts status, edit the contact information for the logged-in user, change the password for the user, and set up Multifactor Authentication (MFA) for the user.

        1) Open Alerts 

        Selecting OPEN ALERTS takes you to the ALERTS section.  The three (3) tabs to the right represent the counters for the severity types of alerts – High, Medium, and Low. Selecting any of these will also take you to the ALERTS section.

        2) User Profile

        To the right of the counters is the Profile button. The initial on the button represents the logged-in user who, in this case, is the Default Tenant ‘superuser’. Selecting that button, a drop-down screen appears with the User name and Manage Account.  The user name is static, but Manage Account is interactive.

        3) Logout

        This will log you out of the ZeroLock Management Console.

        List of Homepages

        On the left side of the screen there is a list that links to the corresponding homepage and, like the ZeroLock banner, is visible on the left side of the screen regardless of the section you are in.  The section you are currently in will appear as blue on this list.

        White arrows indicate that there are subsections within a homepage. For example, selecting Manage Users opens a drop-down list showing the subsections Users, User Roles, and Tenants.  Selecting one of these will take you to that subsection.

        Each homepage has its Knowledge Base article(s) which may be found on the ValiCyber support page.

        The tiles are divided as follows:
