Embedding a Siebel Analytics Request in a Siebel Intelligence Dashboard

Embedding a request in a dashboard causes it to execute automatically and display the results within the dashboard. This provides access to current results. For example, if you are a sales executive whose company captures sales data on a daily basis, you might want to have the dollar volume of product that was sold today appear on the front page of your dashboard.

Depending on how your organization implements caching, Siebel Answers uses the most efficient method to obtain results; either from the cache, or by running the request again and caching the results again.

You can embed saved requests by using the Dashboard Editor. For information about the Dashboard Editor, see Adding Content to a Siebel Intelligence Dashboard.
