Apama’s Dashboard Builder enables you to create end-user dashboards and prepare them for deployment. A dashboard provides the user interface to a scenario and allows you to create instances of the scenario, view the performance of the scenario and interact with it.

For applications written in EPL, you create data views and use Dashboard Builder to create a dashboard from the data views.

Dashboard Builder is a visual design environment. A primary goal of Dashboard Builder is to enable non-technical users to create sophisticated dashboards. Consequently, Dashboard Builder provides a complete design and deployment environment. With a wide range of visual objects and drag-and-drop development, Dashboard Builder provides the tools needed to create highly customized dashboards from which users can start/stop, parameterize and monitor Apama scenarios and data views.

Dashboard Builder offers an extensive array of graphical widgets with which to build custom user dashboards. Meters, gauges, tables, graphs, and scales are available for creating highly customized dashboards. You can further personalize the interface through addition/deletion of panels or modification of graphics and color schemes.

Dashboard Viewer is the tool that end-users run to access dashboards.
