Organization Summary

Important Update:

The Organization Summary page will be transitioning back to the original Organization Summary page and a banner will be presented that reads:

As we streamline the Meraki Dashboard experience, we’ve transitioned everyone from private beta into this landing experience. You can to continue to view device status and network usage across your organization."

The experience will be:

  • All organizations currently in the beta will be reverted to the original Organization Summary page. Users will not be able to opt-in or out at this point
  • A dismissable banner will be displayed on the original Organization Summary page to inform users of the change. Once a user dismisses the banner, it will no longer appear for that user; however, other users in the same organization will continue to see the banner until they dismiss it themselves.
  • The banner will be fully removed approximately one (1) month after the rollback
