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).
Supported Entity Types
| Entity Type | Role in Dashboard | Description |
|---|---|---|
goal | Strategic Objective | Transformation target, mission outcome, or business priority. |
kpi | Quantitative Metric | Numeric metric with target value, current value, unit, and trend. |
system | Strategic Enabler | Systems delivering or impacting specific KPIs. |
capability | Business Capability | Core capabilities linked to executive goals. |
agent | Autonomous Enabler | AI agents delivering operational velocity. |
Supported Relationships & Verbs
| Relationship Verb | Source Entity | Target Entity | Typical Representation |
|---|---|---|---|
influences | system, capability, goal, kpi | goal, kpi | Metric impact & alignment edge |
realizes | system, capability | goal | Strategic realization link |
governed_by | goal, kpi | policy | Executive charter governance link |
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"
}
