The icons in the dashboard's upper right corner let you edit Dashboard Properties with the Dashboard Editor, or Save the dashboard with the other icon. Tip Hovering the cursor over the individual charts displays the charted attribute value(s) as popup tooltips. If a graph has multiple lines, the data points for different lines are charted at different times (Dell OpenManage Network Manager distributes polling to balance the load on its mediation service). Hover the cursor over the time when a line's data point appears, and that line's value appears as a tooltip. It may seem a device reporting the same value as others is not graphed properly, but mousing over the graph displays the value.
