dashboard View

In v1, a declared DSL dashboard view is metadata only. It does not scope the dashboard metrics shown by the application. The functional dashboard is the fixed workspace_home entry.


Visual Projection

Declared dashboard views are retained for model metadata and source round-tripping. They are not rendered as metric dashboards.


Purpose & Target Audience

  • Target Audience: CIO, CTO, Board of Directors, Enterprise Strategy Officers, Program Executives.
  • Primary Use Cases:
    • Tracking progress toward long-term business goals and transformation milestones.
    • Monitoring SLA adherence, MTTR, cloud adoption rates, and FinOps metrics.
    • Linking technical systems and architectural modernizations directly to executive KPIs.
    • Providing at-a-glance KPI cards with directional trend indicators (Up, Down, Stable).

Runtime Note

The application dashboard endpoint always calculates workspace-level metrics for workspace_home. Declaring a named dashboard view does not filter those metrics in v1.


Metadata Example

views {
dashboard v_cto_strategic_dashboard "CTO Strategic KPI Dashboard" {
# Select critical strategic goals and KPIs
include goal where priority == "Critical" || priority == "High"
include kpi
include system where tier == "Tier-1"

# Show strategic influence and realization edges
include_verb influences both
include_verb realizes outgoing

# Style metric targets
style kpi where trend == "Up" {
icon "trending-up"
}
style kpi where trend == "Down" {
icon "trending-down"
}
}
}
