Dashboard Designer
The Dashboard Designer is a tool that enables you to create dashboards.
Important controls:
Test - Test the entire dashboard.
Add Existing - Add existing dashareas into the open dashboard.
The dashareas that are added into the dashboard should be created in the Area Editor. Or, create new dashareas by going to the Dasharea Tab (Dasharea Designer)
View Grid - View the grid pattern in the dashboard. This makes it easier to place and size dashareas.
Below is a list of Dashboard attributes and functions:
| Attribute | Function |
|---|---|
Dashboard Title | Sets the dashboard title. |
Tab Caption | Sets the text that is shown in the tab. |
Left Pane Id | Select among Panes (Pane Designer). The pane selected in this list will be visible to the left in the Dashboard. |
Right Pane Id | Select among panes, same as above. The pane selected in this list will be visible to the right in the Dashboard. Most often, a right pane does not contain any selection controls, but instead contains some descriptive text or a logotype. Even if a left pane is selected, a selection in this list is not necessary. |
Right is Primary | If marked, the right pane is placed on top of the left pane when minimizing the window size. By default, if both a left pane and right pane is selected, then the left pane will be placed on top of the right pane, if the window is minimized. |
Note: To check that the data and SQL queries work as they should, test the dashboard by selecting the Test icon.
