eValid™ -- Automated Web Quality Solution Browser-Based, Client-Side, Functional Testing & Validation, Load & Performance Tuning, Page Timing, Website Analysis, and Rich Internet Application Monitoring.

Introduction
The eValid dashboard provides a common mode of control for the main modes of eValid operation. It also provides dynamic status indications of various activities within the eValid browser.

Operation
The optional eValid dashboard display acts as a convenient auxiliary control panel for eValid.

Information shown in the eValid dashboard display is usually replicated in more-detailed displays generated by eValid subsystems (e.g. Site Analysis Summary or the Playback Summary).

The dashboard display changes based on the eValid operating mode. The information shown in the activity meter is switched automatically to be relevant to the activity being performed.

Display Availability
The eValid dashboard by default is shown when you launch eValid, but you can change this by unselecting the "Display Dashboard on Startup" option.
