Dashboard

The Kiwire Dashboard is your real-time control centre. It displays live KPI stats, charts, rankings, and system health data through a fully customisable, drag-and-drop widget grid. You can create multiple dashboards and share them with your team.

Dashboard Tabs

At the top of the page you will find the dashboard tab strip. Each tab represents one saved dashboard. Click a tab to switch between them. When you have many dashboards, the strip scrolls horizontally — use the arrow buttons on either side to navigate.

Icon	Meaning
★	This is your default dashboard — it loads when you first open the page.
🔒	System dashboard — owned by the platform, cannot be deleted.
🌐	Shared with all admins in this tenant.
👥	Shared with specific roles only.

Dashboard Options Menu

Click the ⋮ (vertical dots) button in the top-right controls to access the dashboard options menu. From here you can:

• New Dashboard — Create a blank dashboard with a custom name, icon, and colour.
• Rename — Change the name of the current dashboard.
• Duplicate — Clone the current dashboard and all its widgets into a new one.
• Set as Default — Make this dashboard the one that loads on login.
• Share / Visibility — Control who can see this dashboard (personal, all admins, or selected roles). Only available for non-system dashboards you own.
• Export / Import Layout — Save the widget layout as a JSON file, or restore a previously exported layout.
• Refresh Widgets — Force all widgets on the current dashboard to reload their data.
• Refresh Data — Clear the server-side data cache and reload.
• Delete Dashboard — Permanently remove the current dashboard. System dashboards cannot be deleted.

Widget Library

The Widget Library panel (accessible in edit mode) is organised into five sections. Each widget can only be added once per dashboard.

Live KPI Stats

These widgets poll the server every ~30 seconds and always show current data.

Summary Stats (Daily Cache)

These widgets display statistics cached once per day. They are cheaper to load but not real-time. Click Refresh Data in the ⋮ menu to force a cache refresh.

Charts

Interactive ApexCharts graphs with configurable time ranges.

Widget	What it shows	Min size
Bandwidth	Total upload + download over time (area chart)	8 × 4
Sessions	Login session count over time (bar chart)	6 × 4
Conn. Status	Online vs offline device ratio (pie)	4 × 4
Device Types	Breakdown by device type (donut)	4 × 4
Top Users	Top users by bandwidth (horizontal bar)	6 × 4

Top Rankings

These widgets display ranked lists with a timeframe toggle: Today / Week / Month / All-time. Some also support a live mode showing real-time session data.

Tables & Utility

Miscellaneous utility widgets that don't fit into the stat/chart categories:

Widget	Description
Sessions	Live list of currently active sessions with user, device, and uptime info
Clock	Displays the current time in the tenant's configured timezone
Notes	A personal notepad — content is saved per-dashboard, per-admin
Quick Links	Configurable shortcut buttons to frequently used pages
Tenant Info	A card showing the current tenant's name, logo, license, and key stats
Portal Pages	Slideshow of your captive portal page thumbnails with links
Enterprise Pages	Slideshow of your enterprise (WPA2) page thumbnails
Network Status	4-cell grid showing controller online/offline counts and uptime
Sign-in Methods	Lists all active login methods configured in the tenant
Audit Trail	Latest admin activity log from the tenant audit table
Portal Log	Live tail of the portal request log (radius/captive events)
Session Lookup	Search for a user's active session by username or MAC address
Media Gallery	Thumbnail grid of uploaded portal media files
Top Journeys	Most-used captive portal journeys by session count
Top Profiles	Most-used access profiles

Sharing Dashboards

You can share any dashboard you own with other admins in your tenant. Open the ⋮ menu → Share / Visibility.

• Personal — Only you can see it. Default for all new dashboards.
• Shared — All Admins — Any admin in this tenant can view the dashboard (but not edit it).
• Shared — Selected Roles — Only admins with one of the chosen roles can view it.

Export & Import Layouts

Dashboard layouts are exportable as JSON. This is useful for:

• Backing up a layout before making significant changes
• Copying a layout from one tenant to another
• Sharing a layout with a colleague

Go to ⋮ → Export Layout to download a .json file, or Import Layout to restore one. The import replaces the current dashboard's widget layout — widget data is still pulled live from the tenant's own database.

Tips & Tricks

• Hold Shift while resizing to snap to the nearest grid column.
• The Clock widget respects the timezone set in System → Settings → General.
• The Notes widget auto-saves as you type — there is no Save button needed.
• If a widget shows a loading spinner that never resolves, click Refresh Widgets from the ⋮ menu.
• Dashboard tabs show in compact (icon-only) mode when there are many dashboards — hover a tab to see its full name.
