3.0 New features
Improved IDERA Dashboard user interface
The IDERA Dashboard features a new look and feel. Some changes include:
- Navigation. The primary navigation moves away from product-specific tabs to a dropdown selection in the header adjacent to the IDERA logo.
- Administration menu. Common tasks previously accessed only on the Administration tab now are available from a new Administration menu on the right side of the menu bar.
Manage tags across products from the IDERA Dashboard
IDERA Dashboard now lets users create global tags shared across all registered IDERA products. Import functionality allows you to import a tag from a supported product such as SQL BI Manager 2.1 to IDERA Dashboard so that it can be used by other products, when available. This feature is still being developed by Diagnostic Manager and Inventory Manager.

Users can register a product manually using CWF’s Manage Product page. The products that can be registered this way are SQLBI (2.2), SQLdm (10.1), SQLInventoryManager (2.3).
Ability to migrate product to a different Idera Dashboard. This feature will be supported by each product once they are onboarded/integrated with Idera Dashboard version 3.0.1. This is not available yet.
Windows authentication support
Support for Windows Authentication - allows a user to connect to the IDERA Dashboard using their Windows Credentials and bypass entering user name and password for IDERA Dashboard. This is available for SQL Business Intelligence Manager 2.1 and SQL Inventory Manager 2.2. However, the other products will require integration before this feature works.
