About Dashboard

The Dashboard provides visual feedback showing whether your Sage 100 Contractor system is configured using the recommended settings and is operating satisfactorily.

Note: The Dashboard was not designed as a sophisticated performance analyzer, but to provide a quick "health check" on your system.

Status indicators

Each of the following factors contributes to the efficient operation of your system:

  • Computer's Power Plan
  • Database Usage
  • SQL Memory Allocation
  • Disk Performance
  • Network Configuration

The Dashboard's "traffic lights" provide visual cues about the status of each factor:
