Tutorial: Creating a New Dashboard

This tutorial explains how to create a dashboard based on the Oracle Communications Data Model webcat included with the sample Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Extended Edition reports delivered with Oracle Communications Data Model.

In this example assume that you want to create a dashboard named "Dropped call and Failed Call", and put both "Dropped Call Rate Report" and "Failed Call Rate Report" into this new dashboard.

To create a dashboard, perform the following steps:

1. In the browser, open the login page at http://servername:9704/analytics where servername is the server on which the webcat is installed.

2. Login with username of ocdm, and provide the password.

   Then, click newDashboard to create an Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Extended Edition dashboard.
