The UFT Mobile dashboard
The Dashboard is displayed to shared space administrators after logging into UFT Mobile. The dashboard provides a visual summary of the state of the lab. This makes it easier for the administrator to verify that everything is running correctly and to identify issues that need to be addressed.
In this topic:
Dashboard overview
The dashboard opens with one widget of each type. Shared space administrators can add more widgets to the dashboard by clicking Add Widget. Up to 20 widgets can be added, and multiple widgets of the same type can be added.
The dashboard can also assist with decision making. For example, device information is useful when deciding if additional devices of a certain OS version are required in general or for a specific workspace. License usage information can be helpful to determine if the UFT Mobile license capacity is sufficient, and if the allocation between workspaces is optimal.

Device widgets
The following widgets are available for displaying information about devices in the UFT Mobile lab:
License utilization widgets
The following widgets are available for displaying information about UFT Mobile licenses:
The information displayed is determined by the type of license that you are using.
License type | Information displayed |
---|---|
Concurrent Devices | Displays the total number of devices in use, and well as the total device capacity allowed by the license. For Ultimate licenses (unlimited devices), displays the total number of devices in use. Click the link at the bottom of the widget to view license consumption per workspace and license quota allocations (if permitted by your license). |
Device Hours |
No license data is displayed in the widget. See the AutoPass License Server for license usage details. |
This widget displays the maximum number of concurrent devices that were in use over time. A horizontal pink line on the graph indicates the maximum number of concurrent devices allowed by the license (license capacity). If a license expired or was uninstalled at a certain point, or if a new license was installed, the maximum might change over the selected time period.
The widget includes a drop-down list of preset values that can be used to configure the following:
Workspace |
The workspace for which the license data should be displayed: Specific workspace/ Shared assets / All workspaces (default). |
Time period |
The time period for which the license data should be displayed. The default duration is 180 days, however you can select a different time period: last 7/ 30/ 90/ 180 days. |
Resolution | Daily maximum license usage or weekly maximum (default). |
Click the link at the bottom of the widget to view license consumption per workspace and license quota allocations (if permitted by your license). For time-based licenses (device hours/ ADM Consumption Token license), see the AutoPass License Server for usage data.
File storage
View how much disk space (in GB) is used by apps. The total file storage allocated to UFT Mobile is set in File storage in the Administration settings. For details, see Administration settings. If this value is not set, the total disk space and free disk space will not be available.
