Executive Console - Overview
Use the Executive Console to monitor your business activities, analyze key performance indicators (KPI), and to launch favorite documents and reports. The Executive Console gives you access to KPIs and favorite files for all of your NDS software application modules. In contrast, the application's User Console, which is similar to the Executive Console, only applies to a specific application module. The Executive Console contains three major areas, the Key Performance Indicators Panel for KPIs, the Console Items Panel for favorite files, and the Content View Panel for displaying certain files.
Tip: For information about specific KPIs for an application, see the Key Performance Indicators topic. This topic requires Internet access and the Adobe Reader.
