The Value dashboard tab (1) displays on first login and shows information about the value of Forcepoint Email Security in the network, along with a summary of system health alerts.
*
The Inbound dashboard tab (2) shows graphical charts that display top domains and message recipients for inbound email. Top domain and recipient information is sorted by message size or volume.
*
The Outbound dashboard tab (3) shows graphical charts that display top senders for outbound email, sorted by message size or volume. Other default charts for this tab show an overall outbound message summary and a summary of outbound messages that contained embedded URLs.
Dashboard elements are visible to Super Administrators and those delegated administrators with permission to view reports on the email dashboard (see Managing administrator accounts). The type of information and level of detail shown depends on your subscription level. For example, the Forcepoint Email Security Hybrid Module is required to display information about the email hybrid service and how it safeguards your system. Forcepoint Advanced Malware Detection for Email - Cloud must be purchased to view metrics on advanced file analysis functions in the cloud; Forcepoint Advanced Malware Detection for Email - On-Premises must be purchased to view advanced file analysis appliance metrics. The following table details the options available on the dashboard.
 
Adding and configuring dashboard charts
The default Value, Inbound, and Outbound dashboard tabs can each display up to 12 charts at a time. You can customize most dashboard charts to change their time period (for example, today, last 7 days, last 30 days) and their display format (for example, stacked column, stacked area, multi-series line). You can include multiple versions of the same chart on a tab (for example, showing different time periods). See Available dashboard charts for a list of charts for dashboard display.
*
All elements on a tab are also updated when any element on the tab is modified. For example, if the time period for one chart is changed, data is refreshed in all of the charts on the page.
