To configure options for regenerating dashboard reports when you open My Dashboard:
Open My Dashboard. In the portlet panel for the dashboard report you are configuring, click the pencil icon in the top right to edit the properties of the portlet.
In the Report options area of the window that appears, locate the Portlet action: section.
Choose one of the following options and click OK:
Show the most recent saved output – this does not regenerate the report when you open My Dashboard, but shows the most recent saved copy of the report available.
You might choose this option if reports are scheduled to run automatically once or twice per day and are not otherwise updated.
Show a run action – this prompts you whether to regenerate the report or not.
Run the report – this automatically regenerates the report when you open My Dashboard.
You might choose this option if your data changes rapidly and you want up-to-date information every time you run the report. Be sure that your administrator has configured ATG Knowledge to summarize report data frequently, or else the report data will not be up-to-date even though you are running the report frequently.
