As you manage policy and evaluate applications, you are gathering a fair amount of data related to policy violations, security vulnerabilities and license issues. Ideally, you want to focus on areas that represent the highest risk, and resolve those quickly. This can be easy to do if you only have to work on a single application; however, the moment you have much more than that, the necessity for a more cumulative approach is needed.

The Sonatype CLM Dashboard provides the quickest way to review the overall health of the applications you manage. Whether you are looking to find the worst violations or the newest, the dashboard should be the first place you review each day.

	Users of Nexus CLM Edition do not have access to the Sonatype CLM Dashboard. Because of this, these users will not be taken to the dashboard after logging in, nor will they see the dashboard icon. Rather, the reports area will display by default.
