• Custom Panels: Includes customized dashboards tailored to the specific requirements provided by RICOH Japan.
• Dashboard Distribution: Dashboards are categorized into three types:
  • Neat Dashboards
  • GraphAPI Dashboards
  • Neat & GraphAPI Dashboards
• Integration Sources: Dashboards retrieve data from the Backends (configured in the data sources), which are integrated with two types of APIs: Neat and GraphAPI.
• Responsive Design: Dashboards are optimized for both desktop and mobile devices.
