About Lingoport Dashboard

The Lingoport Dashboard, built on the SonarQube platform, helps you track and share the progress of your internationalization and localization efforts company-wide, by displaying both high-level and detailed views of your Globalyzer Project Scan data and your Lingoport Resource Manager status information.

For more details about Globalyzer and Lingoport Resource Manager please visit: Lingoport Suite.

When to Update the Dashboard Server

You will need to re-run the Lingoport Dashboard Server Installer whenever you upgrade to a later version of the Dashboard. Be sure to retain your current Dashboard database by unchecking the Install LINGODASH Database Data checkbox.

For more details, see Updating Your Existing Installation.

When to Update the Dashboard Client

You will need to re-run the Lingoport Dashboard Client Installer whenever you:

• Set up a new or updated connection to Globalyzer
• Set up a new or updated connection to Lingoport Resource Manager (LRM)
• Upgrade to a later version of the Lingoport Dashboard Client
