Managing Cockpit Templates#

For occasional users, configuring the cockpit may be too complicated. Therefore, you can create any number of ready-to-use cockpit templates that other users can then use. As a system manager or system administrator, you can assign cockpit templates to other users.

Adding a Cockpit Template#

You can create a new cockpit template from scratch or copy an existing one. To create a new cockpit template, first give it a name and a description, and then configure it.

You must be logged in as a System Manager or System Administrator.

  1. Switch to the “Administration” perspective. In the main menu, select People > Users, select users and go to Assign Cockpit. Alternatively, click on the Users and Groups/Default Cockpit bar in the left navigation area.

The selected users now have the new cockpit.
