Dashboard Designer

Dashboard Designer allows you to create dashboards with little or no training. The dashboard is several different reports brought together inside one screen. Use Dashboard Designer if you want to create an interface to view many different reports at once, have quick access to web pages that you visit often, or view dynamic charts and graphs within a space while you create reports in another.

Creating a dashboard in Dashboard Designer is as simple as choosing a layout template, theme, and the content you want to display. In addition to displaying content generated from Analyzer or Report Designer, Dashboard Designer can also include these content types.

  • Charts: simple bar, line, area, pie, and dial charts created with Chart Designer

  • Data Tables: tabular data

  • URLs: Web sites that you want to display in a dashboard panel

Dashboard Designer has dynamic filter controls, which enable dashboard viewers to change a dashboard's details by choosing different values from a drop-down list, and to control the content in one dashboard panel by changing the options in another. This is known as content linking.
