You can create dashboards to provide personalized views of corporate and external information. A dashboard consists of one or more pages that display results of an analysis.
For example, you can create a Sales Performance dashboard and add content to track your team's revenue. Suppose you create three views for an analysis: performance tile view, a table view, and treemap view. You can create a dashboard that displays these three views. You can include prompts on the dashboard to enable users to specify the values to display in the views.
To create a dashboard:
In the global header, click New, then select Dashboard.
In the New Dashboard dialog, enter a name and description for the dashboard.
Select whether to share a dashboard with others or to save it for your personal use:
Shared or Personal | Location |
---|---|
To share with others | To share a dashboard with others and to not list the dashboard in the Dashboard menu in the global header, save the dashboard in any level (such as /Shared Folders/Sales/Eastern).
To share a dashboard with others and to list the dashboard in the Dashboard menu in the global header., save the dashboard in the /Shared Folders/first level subfolder. If you specify a shared folder in which no dashboards have been saved, then a new Dashboards sub-folder is created automatically in the folder. For example, if you select a folder named /Shared Folders/Sales in which no dashboards have been saved, a new Dashboards folder is created. The Location entry changes to /Shared Folders/Sales/Dashboards. (A new Dashboards folder is not automatically created if you choose a folder at any other level.) |
To save for your personal use | Save the dashboard in the /MyFolders folder. |
Specify that you want to add content to the new dashboard now.
Click OK.
The new dashboard, which contains one blank page, is displayed in the Dashboard builder for editing.
