French term or phrase: tableau de bord synthétique
I'm having problems coming up with a reliable translation for the above phrase taken from the text below. The text is taken from website analysis company's presentation of one of its new website management solutions. Any ideas will be welcomed - TIA:)

L’interface xxxx présente un tableau de bord synthétique, des menus rationalisés, de nouveaux indicateurs et des rapports dynamiques.

English translation:summary dashboard
Explanation:
dashboard is often used to describe this part of a software/web application which presents various key metrics in one place.

Synthéthique is used in the sense of "summarized" (rather than its other meaning of "synthetic" - think of "synthesis" meaning a summary).

Thanks a lot for everyone's input. As mentioned, I think the summary part isn't really necessary in EN so in the end I opted simply for dashboard - lots of google hits.

agree  Marc Glinert: yes a fine suggestion Rob. Your description makes me think of the late-lamented scorecard much used in days of yore//yes, gone the same way as focus groups and SWOTS, but enough reminiscing...life goes on!

Explanation:
as an alternative. I agree with Rob's note about Synthéthique although I don't think that you need to use it, as a management report or dashboard is a summary in itself, so I think that it's
unnecessary

summary report


Explanation:
kind of a mix-and-match answer here, but I think I'd translate as above...

or maybe "summary monitoring report" if the thing has a real time update feature
