Navigating the Management Portal

The Home page shows recently viewed things, API usage for the previous 30 days, recent event logs, and a pie chart that displays a quick overview of connected things and status.

The appearance of the Management Portal depends on customizations for your organization and your user account permissions. The pages of the Management Portal shown are based on the appearance of the default organization and the organization administrator role.
