Dashboards

Here, you will see a variety of widgets already pre-built into Nova.

Dashboards give you a high level insight into your Microsoft 365 data. Here is an example of a dashboard that shows information about an Microsoft 365 tenant:

Dash09

The latest data is collected every day from the Microsoft APIs, however the data provided by Microsoft can be delayed by 24 to 48 hours.
