1E 23.7 (SaaS)

Requirements

Information that will help you design and plan the implementation in your organization. This includes all the prerequisites and dependencies, which are necessary to get access to Dashboards.

License

To use Dashboards, you must have a suitable license included as a consumer in your platform license, which you can obtain from your 1E Account Team. You do not need the license to install the app, but you do need the license to see the app in the 1E portal and in the Switch app menu.

Hotfix Bundle installer account permissions

To install the Hotfix Bundle that contains Dashboards, you should use the same installation account used for the 1E platform.

For more information, please refer to Server installation account.Server installation account

1E companion products

Dashboards currently provides a single Exec Dashboard page.

Exec Dashboard

The table below lists the tiles and charts provided by Exec Dashboard indicating which 1E products and apps they each depend on. If any of these products or apps are not installed or available, then the dashboard tile will show a zero, or no data, or not be included in a summed number.

Total Operations

The sum of IT Operations and Employee Requests for the selected month. That is, the number of issues fixed either manually, by automation, ITSM actions, Virtual Agent actions, and Self Service actions.

Tachyon Managed Devices

The number of devices managed by Tachyon. These are the devices where the installed 1E Client has contacted Tachyon.

The number on the dashboard is cached, but the cache is updated in real-time. It increases when new clients come online, and decreases when inactive clients are purged from the Tachyon Master database.

IT Operations

The number of issues fixed, either manually or by automation, and is the sum of the following:

  • Actions are issues identified and resolved manually or scheduled. These are action instructions that have been run through Explorer, or any other app, but exclude actions run by ServiceNow ITSM and Virtual Assistant, and 1E Shopping.

  • Policy Fixes are issues resolved automatically by Guaranteed State policies

Employee Requests

The number of issues fixed by ITSM, Virtual Agent, and Self Service.

These are sum of actions instructions that have been run by ServiceNow and/or Shopping.

  • ITSM actions are action instructions run by the 1E ServiceNow app 1E ITSM Connect

  • Virtual Agent actions are action instructions run by chatbots, for example the 1E ServiceNow app 1E Virtual Assistant

  • Self Service actions are self-service requests made by end-users of:

    • 1E Shopping, where a requested item causes an action instruction to be run on the end-user's device

    • 1E Service Catalog Connect, where a service request is submitted that causes an action instruction to be run.

    The current version of Exec Dashboard does not differentiate between actions run by the three ServiceNow apps (ITSM Connect, Virtual Agent and Service Catalog Connect) because they all use the same ServiceNow consumer. For more information about ingrating these self-service products with Tachyon, please refer to: Shopping 6.1 - Enabling Tachyon integration and 1E Service Catalog Connect 2.0.

DEX Scores

The DEX score in Exec Dashboard is a combination of these Stability, Performance, Responsiveness, and Sentiment scores, obtained from 1E Experience.

The Score Trend chart shows data for selected score over the selected month.

The above scores are a weighted combination of Experience metrics. The What's Changed popup shows the top and bottom 5 metrics that most significantly affected the selected month's DEX score.

Perceptions of IT

A sentiment survey that is optionally deployed using the sentiment feature of 1E Experience.

Operations

The stacked bar chart shows the following detail for the selected month.

  • Actions are issues identified and resolved manually or scheduled. These are action instructions that have been run through Explorer, or any other app, but exclude actions run by ServiceNow ITSM and Virtual Assistant, and 1E Shopping.

  • Policy Fixes are issues resolved automatically by Guaranteed State policies

  • ITSM actions are action instructions run by the 1E ServiceNow app 1E ITSM Connect

  • Virtual Agent actions are action instructions run by chatbots, for example the 1E ServiceNow app 1E Virtual Assistant

  • Self Service actions are self-service requests made by end-users of:

    • 1E Shopping, where a requested item causes an action instruction to be run on the end-user's device
