How You Preview Dashboards

The Report view provides a preview of the dashboard.

When creating and editing dashboards on the dashboard designer, you generally use the Design view. This is the default view used to edit the dashboard’s properties, and add reports, images, and text fields to the dashboard.

After you modify your dashboard, you can switch to the report view to preview what the dashboard will look like when it's used by staff. When viewing a dashboard using the report view, the dashboard is presented to you just as your staff members see it, though certain items, such as action links displayed in reports, are disabled. When you want to edit the dashboard again, you can switch back to the design view.
