3. Dashboard Designer

Dashboard Designer

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 Interactive Reports and Analyzer, 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.
