Description
Monitoring and Alerting Server (MAS) enables you to schedule multiple Analysis Configurations to be run automatically. MAS will also check for alarm conditions and then take action in response to those alarms.
If a dashboard user has dozens or even hundreds of Analysis Configurations, it can be difficult or even impossible to manually run and review all those analyses. Instead, MAS can run those analysis configurations and monitor the tasks for alarm conditions. The dashboard user can then review only the tasks/ analysis configurations that alarmed.
While Tasksets are used to schedule tasks to be run automatically and to designate what type of alarms will be generated, Dashboards provide a visual display of which tasks have generated alarms and which tasks have not. This article introduces steps of creating a dashboard.
Note: Creating a taskset is a prerequisite to creating a dashboard. Refer to: "How to create a taskset"( KB000040036 ) if necessary.

Issue/Introduction
This article walks through an example of creating a MAS(Monitoring and Alerting Server) dashboard under Statistica.
Resolution
1. To create a Dashboard object, right-click on a folder and select New Dashboard.
2. A new dashboard will be created. Name the dashboard appropriately
A Dashboard organizes tasks into Rows, so we first need to create a Row.
3. Click the Add Row button. A new Row will be added as a child of the OilDash node.
4. To add a task to the row, click the Add Task button.
5. In the Select Task dialog box, select a task. Notice that the only tasks available are those that have been previously added to a Taskset. Click OK.
6. Notice that a new task is added to the Row as a child node. At this point, you can add other tasks to the Row. You can also add other Rows to the Dashboard.
Notice that a new child node is added to the Row.
7. Once you have added all the desired Rows and Tasks, select the Access Permissions node and assign appropriate permissions to the Dashboard users.
8. Save the Dashboard by clicking the diskette icon in the upper-left corner.
Viewing Dashboards
Once a Dashboard has been created, you can view it in two ways:
• The Monitoring and Alerting Server node in Enterprise Manager:
• The MAS Dashboard Viewer:
Each Task will appear as a colored square. Each Row object will show up as a row of tasks in the Dashboard. And dashboards with alarms as defined in the task will turn red.
