Considerations When Editing or Viewing Dashboards

When editing dashboards, note the following considerations:

• When you create or edit a dashboard, you can add any analysis to which you have access to the dashboard.

  Your user role and privileges determine which Analytics folders you can access and whether you can access the prebuilt analyses. For more information about visibility to the folders where the analyses are stored, see Setting Up User Visibility to Shared Analytics Folders.

• The following are some best practice tips for adding analyses from the catalog to a dashboard:
  • Move more complex analyses to a page other than the first page.
  • Organize analyses with a similar focus on the same page.
  • Add no more than four analyses to each page.
• If you do not have access to an analysis on a dashboard, then when you edit the dashboard, an exclamation mark (!) is displayed beside the name of the analysis.
• If an analysis was deleted from the catalog after it was added to a dashboard, then when you edit the dashboard, an exclamation mark (!) is displayed beside the name of the analysis.

When viewing dashboards, note the following considerations:

• If you do not have access to an analysis that is included in a dashboard, then the analysis is not displayed when you view the dashboard.
• If an analysis was deleted from the catalog after it was added to a dashboard, then the analysis is not displayed when you view the dashboard.
