Getting Started

Log into AMI with the provided user name and password (default user/password is demo/demo123)

After logging into AMI, choose a layout style (Default Style is shown)

After selecting a style, you will move onto the new dashboard

On the dashboard you will see 1) a Layout Editor toggle button in the upper right corner, 2) a menu bar at the top, and 3) the workbook area below where you add layout components

1. Layout Editor Toggle Button

(Hotkey: CTRL + D)

AMI dashboard builder has two modes. When the Layout Editor is turned on, you have access to tools and functionality for editing the dashboard.

Note: if you do not see the Layout Editor Button, your user account is not entitled for building layouts.

• The Windows menu will have an option to add New Windows and to Manage Windows
• There will be a new Dashboard menu item for accessing tools
• All existing panels will have a green button for accessing that panel's settings

2. The Menu

• File: manage saving and loading of dashboards
• Account: control your personal settings and preferences
• Windows: access, manage, and create windows
• Help: get AMI version, Runtime settings, and list of available script methods, etc.
• Dashboard (in Layout Editor mode): access tools and functionality for building out the dashboard

(Clicking on the 3Forge icon will open up 3Forge's website in a new tab)

3. The Workbook

This is where the dashboard is presented as it is built or loaded

Creating Your First Visualization

Creating a visualization can be summarized into 3 steps:

1. Create a window to put your visualization in 2. Connect to the data using the Data Modeler 3. Select how you want to visualize your data

Let's demonstrate this by creating a table. Before proceeding,

1. After logging into AMI, enter Layout Editor mode by toggling the Layout Editor mode to ON (found on the upper right corner).

(Hotkey: CTRL + D)

2. The dashboard will now have a grid over the work area and a prompt telling you to click on the Windows menu will appear.

3. Select New Window from the drop down options in order to create a new window with a blank panel
