The dashboard is a utility that can be run separate from the RTA system. It provides a manager's overview of the fleet's status. It is a visual representation of important items that are usually monitored by fleet managers and their assistants.
The display is graphical in nature and is updated at regular thirty minute intervals. The information can also be manually updated by clicking the RELOAD toolbar button. Multiple users can utilize the same dashboard layout, or they can customize their own personal dashboard layout. A user can have a single dashboard, or multiple dashboards visible at the same time. A
The dashboard reports useful statistics displaying data from several areas of the database. The user configures which data they would like displayed on their dashboard.
Some of the dashboard metrics off drill-down capability for more detail. Click on the magnifying glass button near the graph to open the details window.

Note: The dashboard is a "client side" utility and must be installed separately from the RTA Fleet Management Software installation. If a workstation machine needs to display the dashboard, the separate client installation must be run on that workstation. If an error message "Class Not Registered" appears when launching the dashboard, that is an indication that the required client install has not been completed on the workstation. Contact RTA Technical Support for more information on obtaining and installing the required files.
