Associate a Report With a Resource

All the dashboard reports show the data related to the performance of a resource. Therefore, any report and the corresponding chart must be associated with a resource.

The Dashboard window has a resource tree similar to other screens. The resource tree shows the hierarchical structure of all resources in the company with the root resource on top. When the Dashboard window is first opened, the root resource is selected automatically. This step must be performed to associate the report to any resource other than the root resource.

To add a dashboard chart to the dashboard:

  1. Click Dispatch.
  2. Select Dashboard from the drop-down menu to open your Dashboard.

    The Dashboard screen appears with a resource tree. The resource tree shows the hierarchical structure of all resources in the company with the root resource on the top.

  3. Select a resource from the resource tree.
  4. Drag a report icon from the configuration menu and drop it in the Dashboard window.

    The corresponding chart appears in the Dashboard window.

  5. To display the chart, click the Show icon.
  6. To hide the chart, click the Hide icon.
    The charts are saved automatically when you quit the dashboard and displays on the screen when you access the dashboard again.
  7. Click Configure dashboard.
    The Dashboard configuration menu is closed. You cannot hide the configuration menu if the Dashboard is empty without any charts.

    The chart configured for the selected resource in the resource tree is displayed on the dashboard window. If you select another resource, the charts are updated with the resource’s data.
