DWC View Efficiencies

There are multiple DWC queries required for my Operations team to use each shift. We recently migrated to Workload Automation 9.5 and find it inefficient to manually run each query at the top of every shift (e.g.: All Workstations in plan, All Jobs in plan, All Job Streams in plan and several custom queries). The dashboard doesn't provide the efficiencies we require.

Is there an automated way to quickly (and painlessly) run multiple console queries?

    We believe that you could create a personalized dashboard with widgets that have as data source your queries. Then if need your operators can get the details of the query by clicking on the widget. Why this would be not acceptable?

    Apologies for missing your replies. Thank you for the response! Ideally, I'd like a more efficient method to access queries such as: All Workstations in plan, All Jobs in plan, Abends, Running, as well as custom queries such as Userjobs, Final Post Reports and JnextPlan/Final. At the top of each shift, my team runs these queries; a time consuming effort. And although I favor 9.5 over the previous version we used - 9.3, the older version allowed easy navigation from one view to another via "All Configured Tasks". Less mouse clicks were required in that older version to open the various views as mentioned above.

    Since we received no explanation on why the dashboards do no address this requirement we close it for now. The solution for this kind of requirements is certainly the dashboard, if this is not working as expected we should receive a detailed description of the issues.

    Could you please explain why you think that the dashboard doesn't provide the efficiencies you require? This explanation is too generic, would you like to have a call to discuss it?
