    - Licensing - overview
    - HCL Unica user account management
      You can manage the attributes of user accounts created using Unica Platform user interface, which we refer to as internal accounts. This is in contrast to external user accounts, which are imported from an external system such as an LDAP server or web access control system.
    - Security management
      Unica Platform supports roles and permissions to control user access to objects and features in Unica applications.
    - Configuration management
      When Unica is first installed, the Configuration page shows only the properties used to configure Unica Platform and some global configuration properties. When you install additional Unica applications, the properties used to configure these applications are registered with Unica Platform. These properties are then shown on the Configuration page, where you can set or modify their values.
    - Dashboard management
      Dashboards are configurable pages that contain information useful to groups of users who fill various roles within your company. The components that make up dashboards are called portlets. Dashboards can contain pre-defined portlets or portlets that you create.
      - Dashboard planning
        To plan how your organization uses the dashboard feature, you should work with your marketing management team to decide the following details.
      - Dashboard audiences
        You can control who views your dashboards by associating them with groups or by assigning individual users to them. Members of a group can access the dashboard or dashboards associated with that group, while non-members cannot view these dashboards.
      - User permissions required to view dashboards
        Dashboards allow Unica users to view pages from multiple products (such as Unica Plan and Unica Campaign) in a single page, regardless of the permissions that are configured for them within those products.
      - Pre-defined portlets
        Unica provides two types of pre-defined dashboard portlets, which you can enable and then add to any dashboard you create.
      - Pre-assembled dashboards
        Unica provides pre-assembled dashboards that include portlets appropriate for various audiences.
      - IBM Cognos report performance considerations
        Reports are desirable components to add to dashboards because they add a visual element that makes it easy to scan large amounts of data. However, because reports require additional processing resources, performance can become an issue when many users access dashboards that contain many reports on a regular basis.
      - Dashboard setup
        Topics in this section describe how to set up dashboards.
        Permissions required to administer dashboards
        Only users with the Administer Dashboards permission in a partition can administer all of the dashboards in that partition. By default, this permission is granted to users with the AdminRole role in Unica Platform.
        Dashboard layout
        The first time you add a portlet to a new dashboard, a window opens prompting you to select and save a layout. You can change the layout later by selecting the tab for the dashboard and selecting a different layout.
        Dashboards and partitions
        If you are administering dashboards in a multi-partition environment, read this section to understand how multiple partitions affect dashboards.
        Overview of working with dashboards in a multi-partition environment
        When you have multiple partitions configured, follow these guidelines when you set up dashboards.
        Enabling or disabling pre-defined portlets

While the system log tracks some of the same information contained in the security audit reports, it also contains information useful in troubleshooting Unica Platform.
