How Dashboards Drive Your Workflow

Dashboards are not just reporting tools — they are decision gateways in the ISO 26262 V-model process: diagram

Dashboard Types

Common Dashboard Tasks

Use the Home Dashboard’s Safety Readiness Scorecard widget as your V-model phase gate. When ISO 26262 Part 4 (System Design) reaches ≥95% across all metrics, you’re ready to advance to Part 5 (Hardware Design). When FMEA Coverage hits 100%, you can close the risk analysis loop.
If a metric shows 87% coverage but you just completed the last requirement link, refresh your browser (Ctrl+F5 or Cmd+Shift+R) to clear the dashboard cache. Metrics are computed on page load, not in real time.
