How You Specify Dashboard Search Defaults

You can specify search defaults for the reports in a dashboard.

When opening a dashboard, the dashboard’s reports automatically display with their default filter values, comparison date offsets, and output variables. However, you can select different defaults for the reports when opened from the dashboard by changing the dashboard’s parameter values. If your dashboard includes the Web Browser–Component report, you can also specify a default URL for the web browser displayed in the dashboard.

You also have the option to set limits on the total number of rows returned in each report or the number of rows returned on each page of the reports. In addition, you can enter Search Design Mode to modify the layout of the filters on the dashboard’s Search window.
