In Jenkins the dashboard represents the primary entry point into the Jenkins system. Upon loading Jenkins we are presented with a screen that allows us to create new jobs, schedule the execution of existing jobs, navigate into defined jobs on the system, and more. Let's drill-down into the capabilities of the main dashboard and dissect some of the functionality. The user interface of Jenkins can be logically divided into four primary content areas: the Header, the Job Table, the Configuration Panel, and the Build Queue and Executor Status Panel. See figure 2.0 As we can see from the preceding screenshot, this specific Jenkins implementation is pretty slim; it has only one job and one view defined. Your specific Jenkins instance will probably be more complex. Let's take a quick tour of each of the previously described content areas and learn about the roles they play within Jenkins.
