Dashboards Are Saved in the Device's Settings

The dashboards will not be specific to any user in the account. Any changes on the dashboard will be reflected to other user's views.

Overview

Deep observability of your robots is vital for understanding their status and delivering a high-quality product and experience. Freedom implements this in 3 key ways:

  1. Logging: Data available in the cloud in real-time, organized efficiently by device, time, topic, and type.

  2. Visualizations: Past and present data from your robot displayed in customizable dashboards and intelligent visualizations built for understanding and analysis.

  3. Sharing: Data and dashboards shared across your team to allow everyone to get started in seconds, plus API access and integrations with external systems.
