With the Display Builder you can quickly create flexible, customized dashboards, animated by your data, that provide at-a-glance access to critical business operation data. Using a point-and-click palette, select from a variety of graphic objects and attach them to live and archived “RTView Data Sources”.
Note: You may not be licensed to run all RTView data sources. Choose from a wide selection of meters, gauges, tables, graphs and scales. Once you have configured your display, you can run it in the Display Viewer as a stand-alone Java application or compact applet.
