Oracle Waveset 8.1.1 Business Administrator's Guide

Working with Dashboards

A dashboard is a collection of related graphs that are viewed on a single page. As with graphs, Waveset provides a set of sample dashboards that administrators are encouraged to customize to their own deployment. See To Create Dashboards for instructions.

ProcedureTo View Dashboards

  1. In the Administrator interface, click Reports in the main menu.

  2. Click View Dashboards in the secondary menu to view currently defined Dashboards.

    The Dashboards page opens.

  3. Click Display next to the dashboard you want to view


    Note –

    For dashboards containing many graphs, it’s sometimes helpful to pause the refresh until all of the graphs are initially loaded.

    Click Pause to pause dashboard refresh, or Refresh to renew the view.


    The following sections provide procedures for working with dashboards:

Editing Dashboards

Use the procedure described in To Create Dashboards to edit a dashboard, except instead of selecting New, select the dashboard you want to modify and edit the following attributes:

A single graph can be used in multiple dashboards.
