Introduction
QAD EE .NET UI provides manufacturing dashboards that bring together browses, web pages, business intelligence, and metrics within panels.
The manufacturing dashboards can include operational metrics if they are available on your system. QAD provides the Operational Metrics functionality with an active maintenance contract, and a term license key applied to the QAD Enterprise Applications product (see https://support.qad.com/license_keys/activemaintenance). For more information, please contact QAD Support.
QAD Manufacturing Sample Dashboards are available as a separate package for use with QAD Enterprise Applications. You can download the package from the QAD Store (http://store.qad.com).
For information on installing the dashboards, see your .NET UI installation documentation for QAD EE.
You can customize these off-the-shelf dashboards, or you can create your own dashboards. To configure the dashboards, assign them, and perform other customizations, see Introduction to QAD Enterprise Applications User Guide and QAD .NET UI Administration Guide.
