Dashboard Portal
The dashboard is a special portal that always appears on the desktop. Its zones contain tools and data that are useful regardless of the object being displayed.
Minimize the dashboard. You can minimize the dashboard by clicking on the vertical bar between the dashboard and the object display area. This causes the dashboard portal to disappear and displays a single vertical dashboard bar, allowing more of the page area to display. It also suppresses the refresh of the zones within the dashboard based on updates to the context. Clicking the dashboard bar restores the display of the dashboard portal. Maximizing the dashboard then refreshes the zones with the latest appropriate content.
Minimize the dashboard when launching the system. If desired, a URL parameter may be used to minimize the dashboard when launching the system, using the parameter minDashboard=true. Refer to Creating Application Links in External Applications for more information and examples.
Adjusting the dashboard width. You can adjust the width of the dashboard by moving the slider that separates the dashboard from the object display area. This also updates your user preferences with the new width.
