Setting up Insights Dashboards for Commitment Control

PeopleSoft Commitment Control delivers Insights dashboards to analyze Commitment Control data using different visualizations.

To set up Insights dashboards for Commitment Control:

1. Use the Insights Preferences Page to configure user defaults that are used when accessing dashboards for Commitment Control.

   When you deploy a dashboard, you are copying the dashboard from the PeopleSoft database to your instance of PeopleSoft Insights. The deployed dashboard is then available on the Saved Objects page in the Management section on the Insights home page. Use the Deploy Insights Dashboards page to deploy or update a dashboard.
