Dashboards

Dashboards provide personalized views of corporate and external information.

A dashboard consists of one or more pages. Pages can display anything that you can access or open with a Web browser, including the following:

• The results of analyses

  The results of an analysis is the output returned from the Oracle BI Server that matches the analysis criteria. It can be shown in various views, such as a table, graph, and gauge. Users can examine and analyze results, print as PDF or HTML, save as PDF, or export them to a spreadsheet.

• Alerts from agents

• Action links and action link menus

• Images

• Text

• Views of folders in the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog

• Links to Web sites

• Links to documents

• Embedded content (such as Web pages or documents)

When you open a dashboard, the content of the dashboard is displayed in one or more dashboard pages. Dashboard pages are identified by tabs across the top of the dashboard. A toolbar at the top right contains buttons that let you:

• Edit the dashboard, if you have the appropriate permissions and privileges.

  For more information on the Dashboard Builder, see "Dashboard Builder".

• Display various options for working with a Dashboard page such as printing the current page. See "Opening and Using a Dashboard".
