How to access my Dashboard

The Dashboard link is available by clicking on your username in the main menu bar. It might look different depending on where you are on the website:

'My chart dashboard' from main ECMWF website'Dashboard' from open charts catalogue

How to create and rename tabs

The charts are arranged in tabs at the top. Tabs can be added, removed and renamed. Currently, each tab has a fixed 3 column layout. To rename a tab, simply click on its label and use the dialogue window.

How to add a product (chart or meteogram ) to my Dashboard

There are two ways to add a product to the Dashboard.

Add a product directly in the Dashboard

First select the tab where you want your product to be added to. Then, in the Dashboard interface, click on 'Add widget' and choose 'New chart widget' to add a map.

 

Click the 'Edit' icon (in the top right corner of the widget) to enter the Edit mode. Name your Widget and choose the product from provided list (or your custom list of products) and projection. You can also choose the height for your map.

Close the Edit mode.

Add a product from the Open charts catalogue

From any chart or meteogram in the open charts catalogue, once you have selected the chart, click on the Share button on the right hand side of the parameter menu and select "Add to dashboard". The chart will be imported into the chart dashboard tab that was last open. Once the chart widget is imported, it is not possible to move it across different tabs.

How to get my Dashboard organised

Charts can be arranged as desired to facilitate easy viewing on the same page: just drag and drop it from the grey menu bar at the top of chart. You can then move it around.

How to create and rename tabs

The charts are arranged in tabs at the top. Tabs can be added, removed and renamed. Currently, each tab has a fixed 3 column layout. To rename a tab, simply click on its label and use the dialogue window.


How to remove or modify a Chart Widget?

In the dashboard, Charts are contained in "widgets" that can be added, removed and modified.  Hovering over the widget title will display a title bar that can be used to drag and drop the widget to a desired position on the page. Widgets can be moved to different tabs by dragging and dropping them over the tab name that you wish your chart to move to.

Clicking on will bring you back to the chart page. Where it goes will depend on where the product came from. If you added it from the ecCharts, it will take you there, if it came from Open charts catalogue, the product will open there.

Clicking on  will delete the widget.

How to access the chart preview

Larger previews of the product are available by clicking on product thumbnail. This preview page displays the product together with controls such as base time, step and area. Any change made on the preview window is saved back to the widget.
