Figure: Dashboard Module

 

1. Dashboard Selector - contains a list of pre-defined dashboards. By choosing a definite dashboard from this list, you can view the reports stored in the selected dashboard.

 

2. Customize - allows performing the following operations:

  • Name - displays the dashboard name.

  • Save - saves a dashboard so that it can be shared with other users.

  • Save as New - saves a dashboard as a new one. This option is especially useful if you need to make modifications in a definite dashboard while keeping the source information intact. This way overwriting of the original dashboard is prevented.

  • Remove - deletes a dashboard together with its contents.

  • Cancel - discards the modifications made to the dashboard currently displayed on the screen.

 

3. Update all - loads the latest data from the database.

 

4. New - creates a new dashboard.

 

5. Add New Item - adds a new report under the definite dashboard from the list of all pre-defined reports previously created.

 

6. Dashboard Workspace - the main screen of the Dashboard module where the content of a definite dashboard is viewed.
