Graphical Views

Tidal Automation’s Graphical Views provide expanded on-the-fly exploration of active jobs in your runtime environment. Thanks to the variety of graphical views, the information presented allows you to answer questions from a variety of business and workflow perspectives.

Graphical views can be used in a variety of ways including:

  • Identifying bottlenecks or weak points in real-time.

  • Providing important insight into job statuses and the runtime environments in which they run.
