Getting started with Consuming Data Hub Analytics

The Consumer view is a read-only view optimized for ease-of-use when viewing resources, such as analyses, charts, and dashboards. It will appear by default for all users. It will also be the view presented on mobile devices.

A sample of this view, with a dashboard resource displayed, is shown below:

You can also access the Consumer view online help, which is the help interface available from within the view itself.
