Configuring Tiles

The Tiles panel in the center of the Cisco SecureX dashboard presents metrics and data from the integrated products to provide visibility across your security environment and accelerate threat response. After you have added your integrations in SecureX, the tiles that are provided by the underlying products are available to add to your dashboard. If you enabled the option to automatically create a shared dashboard of all the tiles associated with the integration module, a shared dashboard is automatically created and displayed on the SecureX dashboard for all users

You can create up to 20 dashboards (see Add/Remove Dashboard) and add tiles to customize your view. For example, you may want a dashboard for each integration module, with tiles specific to that integration.
