Interpreting the Dashboard

Overview of the Dashboard

Vault’s interactive dashboard serves as the platform’s landing page and provides a high-level overview of the archived data in your account. From here you can monitor the status of all your archived data, including storage location, fixity jobs, manifests, analytics, and reports, and have direct access to collections and recent activity reports and logs.
