While you cannot add a second Dashboard tab, you can achieve a similar result by using the Edit option to add and remove regions. You can also use PowerView to specify what content to display in the regions.
See the "PowerView" section for more information about using powerview.
See the "Regions" section for more information about customizing regions.
Because each copy of a region maintains its own local filters and search, you can maintain multiple versions of the same region that display different types of information. For example, you can dedicate and rename a region for Severity 1 SRs and another region for all SRs.
Note:
Oracle highly recommends that you do not remove the News region from the Dashboard. Oracle uses this region to communicate important events and news.For video training on using the dashboard see Knowledge Document 1544002.1, "Discover how to use My Oracle Support - Dashboard":
