Editing Dashboards

You can edit dashboards to which you have appropriate permissions and privileges. You can add or delete dashboard pages, add content such as columns and sections, and edit properties and settings such as print options.

Tip:

You can find your current location within Oracle BI content and the path that you have used to navigate Oracle BI content. You use breadcrumbs to return to a previous location. For example, you can navigate from the Dashboard editor to the dashboard's City Revenue tab in the Sales Performance dashboard. Then you can drill into revenue by postal code for each city.
