Overview of Dashboard Designer Components
The tasks you perform when creating or editing a dashboard are performed using the dashboard designer’s ribbon, design surface, and reports explorer.
These components provide access to the reports, dashboard sections, and other items you use to create and edit dashboards.
| Dashboard Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Page Header |
This section accepts images and text fields and displays at the top of dashboards when you print them. |
| Dashboard Header |
Contains text fields and images that display at the top of the dashboard. By default, the header contains text fields you can modify for the dashboard’s title and subtitle. |
| Dashboard Description |
Contains text that you can modify to provide general information about the dashboard. You can display dashboard descriptions inline to show the description on the dashboard or as text on a separate tab on the dashboard. See How You Add Dashboard Descriptions. |
| Dashboard Items |
Contains the reports and components you add to the dashboard. If you add tabs to the dashboard, the name of this section changes to Tabs, and a tree is added from which you can add content to each tab. See How You Add Tabs to Dashboards. |
| Dashboard Footer |
This section contains text fields and images that display at the bottom of the dashboard. |
| Page Footer |
The page footer is similar to the page header section. The text fields and images added to this section display at the bottom of printed dashboards. |
