Configure Dashboards

Top  Previous  Next

Overview

 

Once the Dashboard Group has been created and Widgets allowed, Dashboards can be configured for the Dashboard Group. Dashboards created here are available to each employee assigned to the Dashboard Group via the Dashboards menu option within the Dashboard applet. Each group can have multiple dashboards configured as Classic or Analytic.

 

Dashboards can be configured by clicking Configure Dashboards from the Dashboard Groups toolbar. From the dialogue that loads, you'll use the Dashboards pane (left-hand) pane to create, edit and/or remove dashboards available to the group.

 

Once a dashboard has been selected from the drop-down, widgets can be added to it and configured as appropriate.
