Setting Up Dashboards

You add, modify, and delete dashboard configurations on the Dashboard Configurations page.

Dashboards are a collection of analyses grouped together to return data. A dashboard contains analyses and prompts which filter information and other objects to present on one or more pages. You can configure dashboards to display an analysis in Oracle Permitting and Licensing by clicking the Reports and Analytics button in the global header on the Agency Springboard, and selecting the dashboard link.

For a list of delivered dashboards and their descriptions, see Permitting and Licensing Analytics.
