Understanding the RubiThings Homepage

The RubiThings home page is the default page assigned to you to visualize the overall activity occurring in your workspace. When you log in for the first time, the home page canvas is blank. That's because you have not configured any "Thing." You see the "Welcome to RubiThings" and "Start adding the Things to see the Dashboard!" messages. The default RubiThings home page is shown below.



The configured home page is shown below.
