Personalizing Your Dashboard
You can personalize the content
blocks that appear when you open a Private View of Dashboard. Content
blocks can contain launched reports, hyperlinks to reports, or hyperlinks
to Internet resources. The following are the types of content blocks:
-
Launch blocks. Contains only one item,
which is launched when you open Dashboard.
-
List blocks. Can contain many items and display
a list of hyperlinks to reports or to Internet resources.
-
Folder blocks. Similar to list blocks and contain
the entire contents of a folder.
-
Output blocks. May or may not contain information
when Dashboard is launched. When you run a report or access an Internet
resource, the output block refreshes and displays the new contents
rather than open a separate browser window.
-
Tree blocks. Adds a tree, without the sidebar
frame, to a Public View or Group View page.
-
Watch List blocks. Adds the ReportCaster Explorer
interface filtered by Watch List reports.
-
Favorites blocks. Contains a group of frequently
accessed reports, charts, hyperlinks, and any item type except Reporting
Objects.
You can also create content pages that contain your content blocks,
or content pages that contain the ReportCaster Explorer interface
filtered by schedules or Library reports. For details, see Creating Dashboard Content. For information on the ReportCaster Explorer,
see the ReportCaster manual.
