Configuration Frames

Dashboard Studio templates, Release 8.2 and later, provide configuration frames. These frames are accessible from Dashboard Studio when a dashboard is created, Interactive Reporting Studio Sections catalog, or the Configuration drop-down list of Dashboard Studio. Each configuration frame includes a navigation drop-down list on the top panel, that enables you to access other available dashboard configuration frames.

A set of buttons ( Start button , Back button , Next button , End button ) is included on configuration frames to enable easy navigation from one step to another in a multi-form configurator. For single-form configurators, these buttons are not selectable.

The standard template contains these configuration frames:

QIQ Filter Properties
Filter Enhancements
QIQ Related Document Properties
Wide View Properties
Pivot Fact Properties
QIQ Sort Properties
List Expansion Properties
Language Properties
Date Formats
Color Palette Properties
Chart Spotlight Properties (see Spotlighting the Chart)
Create Summary Table (see Creating Summary Tables)
The Webdash template includes a configuration frame called Build Dashboard
Layout Manager Properties

Note:

Because dashboards created with Dashboard Studio are built from a customizable, extensible framework, configuration frames may exist that are not documented in this guide. If a configuration frame is part of a Dashboard Studio component, it is documented in Dashboard Development Services Components.

Configuration frame availability varies depending on the state of the dashboard. Frames are part of the design process and are available only in templates and ESMs; therefore they are not available in runtime versions.
